Workshop leader: Dominik Höhr

Current status - University of Paderborn

• Invitation to the official dates
  • Annual general meeting (meal and conclusion, hardly any supporting programme)
• Traditional events: summer barbecue, Christmas party

• No explicit invitation to events
• Newsletter (events, happenings, behind the scenes)
  • Little interaction

challenges

• Communication with alumni (contact details)
• Time planning, accommodation, other expenses

Current problems

• Low participation
  • both with dig. re-registering students as well as at the events
• Effort vs. benefit for alumni

Concept for solution

• Travel planning? - The FSR can offer and support something
• Association
• Planning by alumni

• Supporting programme (offer the entire programme so that it is worthwhile for the alumni to come)

• Ideas:
  • Events
  • Alumni as helpers
  • Website area
  • Programme, yes, but equalised (party not the focus)
  • Collect contact details early on
  • Distribute protocols
  • Define benefits, donations with benefits (in both directions)
  • Fixed date
  • For organisation and administration: combination of FSR and alumni
  • Address alumni from BA to MA, update on FSR work
  • Alumni report
