Notes from 2010 Summer Leadership Institute
- National level activities
- alumni visiting campuses near where they live
- highest interest is service projects
- social media options
- present at national gatherings (Bonner, Impact, other)
- input on national direction and programming strategy and implementation (e.g., college access, etc.)
- common Google calendar from campuses re their events that alumni could join
- follow-up survey to generate specific Bonner alumni survey
- tech tools (LinkedIn option?)
- affiliate networks: Bonner Doctors (B-Docs), Bonner Corporate, Bonner Teachers who could mentor current Bonners
- Campus level activities
- how to engage alumni in meaningful way when they are back on campus with current students
- MLK Day of Service is a good day because people have time off that day
- invite alumni to Bonner bonding events (even 1 or 2 showing up can be transformative, even when just through informal networking)
- General
- motivation: alumni want to be engaged in doing something (vs just seeing people), sense of purpose, value-centered,
- Bonner mission expand to lifelong goals and roles
