Case Study: University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee scales alumni mentorship and engagement with PeopleGrove

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee drives 16,000 mentorship pairings with PeopleGrove

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a major public university, needed to scale its alumni engagement beyond manual efforts. Their challenge was to build stronger relationships with a large alumni base, support student-alumni mentorship, centralize data, and gain measurable insights. To address this, they implemented the PeopleGrove platform.

Using PeopleGrove as a centralized hub, the university rapidly grew participation and structured its mentorship program. The solution resulted in 16,000 mentorship pairings and 2,500 active alumni mentors, with 11% of all alumni joining the platform. PeopleGrove also helped drive donations, as 54% of participating alumni have donated since joining, proving the platform's significant impact on scalable, lifelong engagement.
