About this listen

Think you know what your alumni really want? The National Alumni Survey is challenging long-held assumptions and forcing advancement professionals to confront some uncomfortable truths. On this supersized special episode of Alumless, we’re digging into one of the most talked-about projects in advancement today: The National Alumni Survey. Ryan and Chris are joined by three powerhouse leaders behind the effort — Bonnie Devlin of Washburn McGoldrick, Howard Heevner of CMAC and UC Berkeley, and Sarah Kleeberger of Ruffalo Noel Levitz. Our panel will unpack what the survey is revealing about the state of alumni giving, engagement, and institutional connection. The conversation explores why the survey was launched, what findings have been most surprising, and how institutions are utilizing the insights. From generational giving patterns to the vital link between connection and generosity, this episode sheds light on how data can reframe our understanding of alumni behavior. A big thanks to our presenting sponsor, Protopia, for their support. Alumless listeners should learn more about the AI technology that’s winning awards and helping schools scale engagement through micro-volunteerism. Visit protopia.co/alumless.
