We're thrilled to share this testimonial from Polly Foley, Archivist at Latymer Upper School, about their experience with SocialArchive 😊 #SocialArchive #SchoolArchives #Archivist #AlumniEngagement #Legacy

The busy term has ended, and we hope you’ve found a moment to catch your breath! As we reflect on 2024, we want to take a moment to thank you for your support throughout the year. We've loved hearing your stories and learning about the incredible work being done in schools and universities to drive engagement and preserve history. As we look ahead to 2025, we have some exciting new features in the pipeline that we can't wait to share with you! Watch this space 👀! Until then, we wish you a restful break and a very Merry Christmas. Here’s to a happy and successful New Year! Warm wishes, The SocialArchive Team P.S. Christmas is the perfect time to look back on special moments, so we couldn’t resist sharing this gem of our very own Jamie Robertson as a shepherd in his school nativity many years ago!

Over the past five years, institutions have seen a 40% drop in in-person alumni event attendance. While virtual engagement has grown, it hasn’t yet fully made up for the decline. (CASE Alumni Relations Report, 2023) The challenge? Alumni are more geographically dispersed than ever, with busy schedules and competing priorities. The opportunity? Digital tools that create interactive and meaningful connections for alumni - whether through virtual reunions, personalised content, or engaging with their school's history in new ways. Alumni who can't return to your school or university still want to feel part of their community. By offering digital and interactive experiences you can build a bridge for alumni to reconnect, no matter where they are in the world. How are you adapting to these changing engagement trends? #AlumniEngagement #VirtualEvents #DigitalArchives #AlumniRelations #EdTech
