Collectively these segments are geographically dispersed. They cross many life stages. This makes engagement more challenging.\u00a0Social networks can help to bridge the divide. Activities via socials can be more regular than events and more relational than emails or publications.<\/p>\n<p>But are we maximising the opportunity? We know more can be done than the occasional alumni achievement post. But what works?
