Aileen O'Donnell, manager of the IIE Alumni Initiative, shares highlights from an IIE Diplomatic Network Meeting on alumni engagement. "Recognize and utilize alumni as experts, future employees, future employers, and mentors," writes O’Donnell. "There are many ways to do this, such as inviting alumni to attend embassy events and meet high-level visitors, asking alumni to represent the university at college fairs, and including alumni in the selection process for admissions and scholarships."
