Testimonial

“Very inspiring day – lots of great ideas from presenters and knowledge shared between participants.”

~Karina Drummond, Director of Alumni and Community Relations (2023 participant)

“The Alumni Practitioner Training was incredibly beneficial. There was just the right balance of information, along with a chance to discuss specific challenges and share ideas. Between the pre-course work and the on-site learning we covered a significant amount of tailored learning. Beneficial for those starting out in Alumni Relations and experienced practitioners, I highly recommend this course.”
