Professional Development
Good Read
In late 2020, the University of Newcastle, Australia, launched its inaugural Lost Alumni Campaign, striving to reconnect with former students with whom the university had lost touch. The campaign resulted in 10,000 new alumni contacts, helping Newcastle reach its 2024 alumni engagement goal early.
Good Listen
Highlighting current news and research, this weekly 10-minute podcast provides fundraisers with the latest information in fundraising and philanthropy.
Good Watch
Seth explains how your nonprofit can use storytelling to spread your mission; he offers advice for nonprofit board members and millennials entering the field; he also shares an important tip from his AFP keynote address.
Sharing is Caring
Summer Topic – Honor Roll
Does your law school have an honor roll of donors/giving? Is it in print or online? Did you stop putting one together? If so, how did donors react? Share your donor recognition best practices on our Section Sharing Sheet on the Institutional Advancement Website!
You can post links to annual reports, alumni magazines, marketing collateral, or any other materials you’d like to share with your IA colleagues.
Welcome New Members!
