• Build a multi-pronged Alumni communication network that delivers information to a variety of audiences in various formats.
• Specifically, Re-establish the quarterly print tabloid, “UAHuntsville Alumni News”
• Redesign Alumni web pages
• Grow social networking capabilities through Facebook and other platforms
• Grow involvement through targeted interest groups
• Utilize e-mail blasts
• Launch online newsletter
• Increase visibility of Alumni sponsored programs and activities though signage, posters, advertising
• Speak to groups both off- and on-campus about the university, Alumni, and how we contribute to the community.
