Case Study: Samueli Academy helps graduates get college-ready with Almabase's virtual networking event platform

Samueli Academy hosts 4th annual virtual College Get Down with Almabase, earning 40 RSVPs in 12 days

Samueli Academy, a public charter high school, faced the challenge of preparing its Class of 2020 graduates for college during the COVID-19 pandemic, which made its essential annual in-person networking event impossible to host. With limited staff resources, the school needed a virtual solution to reduce uncertainty for its young alumni and keep them engaged. They turned to their vendor, Almabase, to address this.

Using the Almabase platform, Samueli Academy successfully hosted its first virtual "College Get Down" networking event. The solution involved creating a dedicated event page, recruiting volunteers, and facilitating breakout sessions via Zoom. This virtual event attracted 27 speakers and 40 RSVPs within 12 days, providing graduates with valuable resources and strategies for college success. Almabase enabled the school to support and empower its alumni community despite the constraints of the pandemic.
