Our next Agora looks at how the University of Miami turned a national alumni footprint into a network it can mobilize, for a playoff run, a Centennial and everything in between.
What does it take to build alumni communities so strong that they’re already there when the university needs them? Whether it’s a College Football Playoff watch party, Giving Day, a Day of Service, the Centennial, or celebrations for Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month, volunteers in dozens of cities are ready to rally their networks.
That’s the question Desiree Rodriguez will answer at our next Agora.
The University of Miami has more than 210,000 alumni around the world. No staff team can be in every city at once, but Miami has found a way to amplify its reach through its volunteers. Today, 32 active Canes Communities, led by volunteers, put trained, equipped leaders where alumni actually live.
