Alumni engagement by the numbers, State & Hill infographic

November 19, 2015

We love how active and engaged our Ford School alumni network is. More than 700 alumni found ways to engage with the Ford School and connect with students last year (July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015).  

In the fall 2015 issue of State & Hill magazine, we shared a few examples of alumni engagement in a cool infographic. Here, we're breaking down the numbers.

In total, 720 alumni connected with the Ford School last fiscal year. Wondering why our infographic adds up to 917? Of course you are. We're looking at the number of alums who engaged in each activity, but some alumni are super-engagers who participate in two, three, or more activities over the course of a year. 

To get involved and give back, contact Elisabeth Johnston, alumni relations manager, at [email protected] or (734) 615-5760. And thank you, alums, for all you do for our school and for our students.
