I run an alumni mentoring program which is normally used by students to connect with alumni, but I have had a significant increase in alumni wishing to utilize the program for networking. This summer has been very busy with phone appointments with alumni who are looking for assisstance from their alma mater...and I have been helping them any way I can, including telling them how to utilize social media to their advantage.

Monreal Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:55:41 +0000 http://www.higheredmorning.com/?p=467#comment-528 Our University is situated next to a military base. This presents with a unique situation in that, the average student is around 28-34 years of age. Some have a degree others are starting. This is also the case with the local community. The average student is 25-29 seeking a degree or just starting. This is not surprising considering the economy. Many people/students are coming "back" to get a degree or advance their studies to be more competitive in the work place and why not, education is still the best investment a person can make now for a better future. I can recite stats and how many unemployed we have but it is not necessary. Education is here and is competitive to the job market and the employers. The employers want more educated people to help them grow in a positive way. Sincerely, HRM Our University is situated next to a military base.
