Hello!
I hope you’re doing well today! Due to the extraordinary circumstances facing our nation and the world because of the Coronavirus, the Purdue Alumni Association understands that our alumni clubs are not able to host in-person events for the foreseeable future. As these have been the cornerstone of the Club Recognition Program (https://www.purduealumni.org/alumni-leaders/clubs/handbook/#program, see “Club Recognition” section), it is important for us to provide alternative opportunities for our alumni clubs to earn Gold, Silver, or Bronze status. Our goal with structuring this revision is to encourage continued engagement with our alumni and constituents in your geographical areas, while understanding our dedicated volunteer alumni leaders have varying levels of comfort with technology.
This revision will still use the same structure as our current Club Recognition Program requirements; however, there are alternative opportunities for earning credit for an event.
|
One Event Equals: |
Option 1: One (1) Virtual Event, hosted in WebEx, Zoom, etc. |
|
Option 2: Three (3) “Social Media Engagements” of Purdue Alumni Association’s Social Media Posts to Your Club’s Social Account (Facebook, Alumni Portal, etc.). MUST include a question to encourage alumni engagement/participation with your post. |
|
|
Option 3: Five (5) “Social Media Shares” of Purdue Alumni Association’s Social Media Posts to Your Club’s Social Account (Facebook, Alumni Portal, etc.) |
|
|
A maximum of three (3) events can be earned by any combination of these above options and will qualify as any Engagement type (Personal, Professional, Intellectual, Scholarship/Student Engagement, Service) needed by your club to earn Gold, Silver, or Bronze status. |
|
Check out our club portal to see and share virtual event ideas from our alumni clubs and networks, as well as view examples of Option 2 and 3.
This temporary revision will take effect retroactively (starting March 11, 2020) and carry thru the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2020). Reporting of events will still be done via the post-event information form, which has been modified to include these event options/alternatives listed above.
We will be hosting a virtual Q&A session next Monday, 4/27 at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT to answer any questions you may have about this revision. I will forward you a meeting invite shortly.
Thank you so much for all you do for the Purdue Alumni Club of Colorado. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day and Hail Purdue!
