Dear Colleagues,
 
As discussed at our recent Campus Partner AGR meeting, our Alumni, as expected, show more affiliation to their respective departments than centrally with UCSB Alumni. With that in mind we recommend that invitations to this year’s AGR come from departments/areas whenever possible - particularly if they are hosting an event.
 
We are able to assist you with this though by building out and sending them using the central IA email platform. As well as incorporating the new campus visual identity system allowing a seamless flow with the Alumni AGR web pages, sending them centrally will also allow for more robust email reporting which will feed into the flow of your campaign’s emails: invites, reminders, follow-ups.

We are here to help! Please email samantha.putnam@ucsb.edu or jane.mctaggart@ucsb.edu for assistance.

Regards,
Samantha Putnam
Programs Director
UC Santa Barbara Alumni
