Alumni Channel overview

What is Alumni Channel?

Alumni Channel is a web based online community and membership management suite for groups such as schools, school alumni, and other membership-based organizations. The software helps organizations such as schools, districts, education foundations, and alumni associations to maintain peer-to-peer relationships and bond through online communities.

Member data can be stored and accessed by administrators around the clock as Alumni Channel enables the creation of an online alumni database. This eliminates the need for record management on spreadsheets or paper which in turn facilitates communication with members. Alumni Channel can send out email blasts to all members or to a selected group of members.

The data import and export feature allows users to upload images, PDFs & forms and share these with other community members. A donation management feature tracks and manages all online donations made by members. Alumni Channel's reporting feature enables administrators to generate and export community website traffic reports with details on number of visits, registrations per day, and frequent visitors to the website. This information can be used to create impactful marketing campaigns, plan a reunion and identify active members in the community.

Members can communicate directly via Alumni Channel's member messaging and chat feature, RSVP to events and upload photos. Each member profile displays that person's social networking details enabling members to connect on social networking sites as well.
