Testimonial
“Very inspiring day – lots of great ideas from presenters and knowledge shared between participants.”
Karina Drummond, Director of Alumni and Community Relations
“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.”
