Creating opportunities for alumni and constituent engagement is a priority in William Paterson University’s advancement office. The culture of the department goes well beyond securing gifts—they seek to create a dynamic community where people want to give because they’ve had a positive experience with the University. In fostering good will, the University looks for opportunities to “give back” and celebrate alumni and constituent accomplishments. One new strategy for building engagement is the application of social media techniques to support networking, prospect research and cultivation.
