Working with Alumni Chapters

The most effective way to begin a relationship with a local BGS alumni chapter is to invite them to send a representative of the alumni chapter to attend your chapter’s induction ceremonies. Offer them the opportunity to speak a few minutes at the program to promote the value of participating in local alumni chapters.

If there isn’t a BGS alumni chapter or networking group near your school, you can still connect with your own institution’s local alumni! Here are some ideas to try:

  • Invite BGS alumni to give a presentation to students enrolled in an introductory business class
  • Invite alumni to help with your BGS information tables and info sessions.
  • Ask alumni to participate in mock interviews or resume reviews for BGS students.
  • Propose establishing a BGS alumni scholarship to help pay membership fees for new inductees.
  • Conduct a mailing to school-BGS alumni to update on chapter activities.
  • Offer to promote alumni chapter events in your area: post flyers on business school bulletin boards forward the event email. (Encourage BGS faculty and students to attend.)
  • Offer venue space at your university for your local alumni chapter, including meeting rooms, event space, etc.
  • Co-host an event with BGS alumni: a career panel, speaker event, golf etiquette program, service project, or networking event.
  • Keep in touch with your local BGS alumni; highlight their achievements and news stories on business school bulletin boards, websites and social media.
