Background

The mission of the Pomona Alumni Association is to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between Pomona and its alumni. This is achieved through the support of networking among all alum for personal and professional development by offering appropriate social activities and services.

To accomplish these goals, the Pomona Alumni Association organizes events to facilitate alumni networking amongst each other and with the university. Through these reunions and other special events, the Alumni Association ensures their dedication to keeping their members’ common bond alive.

Outdated Event Programming

The Pomona Alumni Association knew their conventional ways of managing their alumni event programming such as excel spreadsheets were becoming outdated. These can be tedious and thereby a time waster. If events to drive alumni engagement and donations are ineffective, that can be costly and raise multiple issues down the line for universities. Therefore, it’s imperative to find an all-in-one technology solution.

Modernized Solution

Features of the app included:

Easily Accessible Programming, Smoother Attendee Experience

Pomona Alumni Association partnered with Eventus.io to modernize their Alumni Weekend programming. Using an app, programming is more practical to manage for the coordinators and simpler to access for the attendees. This all helps to promote the goal of alumni associations alike, to cultivate a culture of life-lasting alumni growth and support.

The Results

With a robust event app in place, the Pomona Alumni Association is able to more effectively share event programming with its members. The association also better engages its members by sending out real-time push notifications to keep them aware of event updates. (I.e, schedule changes, venue switches, etc.)

The best part?! The savings from not having to print the Alumni Weekend programming offset the cost of their app.
