INFORMATION ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE
Background
The goals for this committee must be developed from whatever the reality is for future Alumni Relations with the College. Will Kenyon continue with an effort built largely on the good will of Council volunteers, Regional Association volunteers, and Class Agent volunteers, supported by the hard-working thin ranks of the OAPE? Or will there be a shift to develop a sense of valued membership among the amazing graduates of Kenyon College by supplementing resources and college-based initiatives? In short, status quo…or grow.
Communication for the Diaspora of 18,000 Kenyon Alumni will be a critical element of implementing such a plan. A successful Alumni communication effort will be openly present and relevant in the post graduate world.
