Strategic Plan: Alumni.Louisiana

[NewsCopy]

Louisiana Alumni Association has developed a comprehensive strategic plan to guide how the organization engages alumni and strengthens their connection to several key areas.

According to Amy Armstrong, associate vice president for alumni engagement and chief executive officer of the Louisiana Alumni Association, the plan was developed with the association board after months of meetings and discussions with alumni and key stakeholders.

“We are thankful for alumni eager to engage with the University on all levels. They want to do anything they can to further the mission of Louisiana,” Armstrong said. “The strategic plan will help us to identify the most impactful ways they can do so.”

The plan consists of four pillars:

Connecting alumni to the University: strengthening campus relationships through promoting and preserving University traditions and encouraging alumni support.

Connecting alumni to the community: promoting the positive impact of the University and its unique culture, both in Acadiana and in other communities in which alumni live.

Connecting alumni to each other: fostering alumni engagement through communication, promoting accomplishments and encouraging participation.

Connecting alumni to students: contributing to the undergraduate experience by supporting graduates and modeling effective alumni engagement.

Each pillar outlines ways to strengthen alumni’s connections in the respective areas. The pillars will also guide the ways in which the Alumni Association creates opportunities for engagement, specifically through programming and new initiatives.

For Louisiana Alumni Association Board President Chris Richard, the strategic plan is not only a document to guide engagement efforts but also a roadmap to guide how alumni can participate while enhancing their experiences.

“Engagement makes the University stronger by having alumni contributing their time and resources,” Richard said. “A stronger, engaged alumni build pride in the community and provides support in important legislative issues affecting the future of Louisiana.”

In the coming weeks, Armstrong and the board will share the complete plan with the public and visit with alumni clubs and chapters and other stakeholders to discuss the plan and share ideas for engagement.

Correct.my point was they include it on everything else they put out. applause if that release is the norm going forward

[BabbForHeisman]

That's because this website changes "U L L a f a y e t t e" to "Louisiana".

The actual press release is littered with Lafayette's. Not just a first reference, but all references.

You know, he may be absolutely correct.

In the associations defense, they may not be considered athletic branding . . .

Get you some of dis @Lafayette, click the link and there it is. Until they get on message with UL and drop the @Lafayette, file this chit next to the Alden Report and let it collect dust too. Meanwhile we have another freshmen class coming in and they get the Lafayette treatment. Great way to grow the brand with a small minded name.

Decades from now when my molecules are being passed through an earthworm, said earthworm will have more spine than the academic eggheads at UL.


That is how much faith I have in this administration to get this name game done.

[BabbForHeisman]

The official name is the UL- L afayette Lafayette Alumni Association of people in Lafayette, located in Lafayette.

To be honest, if that was the real name, a lot of other things would make sense.

If we can use LOUISIANA for athletics, we should be able to use it academics. We are already using Louisiana for eNews. We should do like the University of Texas at Austin does and similarly change our logo to (BTW, I already submitted this to Dr. S over a year ago with no response):
