Case Study: The College of Idaho boosts alumni engagement with Almabase

The College of Idaho drives 100+ RSVPs in 20 days with Almabase

The College of Idaho, a private liberal arts college, faced a significant decline in alumni engagement after the COVID-19 outbreak forced the cancellation of in-person events. This left a two-person alumni relations team struggling to connect with and support its 15,000-strong alumni community, which was experiencing increased stress and isolation. They turned to their alumni platform from vendor Almabase to find a virtual solution.

Using the Almabase platform, the college created a dedicated event page for a month-long virtual 5K race called the Coyote Dash. This initiative successfully drove virtual engagement, garnering over 100 RSVPs in just 20 days. By leveraging Almabase for the event hub and integrating it with email and social media campaigns, the college was able to unite its alumni community, promote well-being, and maintain crucial connections throughout the crisis.
