To stay in touch, make email lists that you continuously send information out to, generate newsletters to keep your alumni updated, and create social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). The more engaged you keep the alumni, the happier they will be and the more successful the development of your projects will be. You will always build a larger network of alumni and funders from doing so.</span></span></span></p></body> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^</sourcetext></parsererror>

Remember, you are representing your university when you contact them, so it’s important to keep your emails professional, brief and easy to follow. If you have any any concerns about your messaging, check in with your faculty advisor, club advisor or with your university’s administration. They will appreciate your professionalism and initiative. When reaching out to alumni, email is usually best. If you want to spice up your email in a professional way to hopefully garner more interest, try gathering together some students and film a short and informative 3-minute video about you, your club or your projects and how they can help. Additionally, you can also include links to your club’s social media account page(s) and/or your club’s website to display your work and projects.</span></span>
