We are no longer living in a Leave it to Beaver era!

Your alumni are among the 250 million people engaging and networking through hundreds of social and now  - business networking websites.  This Webinar will focus on how you can use business networking websites to engage and involve your alumni, PLUS give you an understanding on how you can use it to connect and network with others.

Linkedin.com is growing by 1,000,000 users a month and is currently THE place for business networking.  Your alumni are flocking to this site to do business with others and to find jobs.  The average age of the Linkedin user is 41 and the average income is $105,000.  You need to be where they are at!

Not a technical Webinar!

This Webinar will provide you an overview of how to use Linkedin.  It’s more of a workshop where we’ll take you through how to build a network, tricks on how to use it more effectively and ideas on how you can use it to increase participation in your alumni events and activities.

Linkedin is currently redesigning their group functionality which will also give you the ability to create private “alumni only” networks on their site.
