In today’s crazy busy world, folks are longing for the kind of time together they had in school — a time when just hanging out with your friends and learning something new was an end in itself. Spending a week or ten days “in the field” is just what alums need to get to know each other again and reconnect to the institution where “it all began.”
Alumni travel is a wonderful way to build community among alums, energize their loyalty to your school, and galvanize fundraising efforts.
Our alumni travel programs are a refreshing blend of educational opportunities and recreation, with first-class amenities and service. In the field, your alums will have a chance to reconnect with fond memories of their Alma Mater, while building a new layer of engagement through the excitement of travel.
Unconventional sights, sounds and flavors:
We tailor all of our alumni trips to focus on the needs of each school. Every trip is carefully crafted to include the right balance of time for alumni to interact, relax, and engage with the destination through inspirational sightseeing and events.
Example Themes for Alumni Trips:
- Exploring women’s issues in Rwanda
- An alumni family volunteer vacation in Costa Rica
- Alumni service and safari trip to Kenya
- Exploring business in Brazil
These travel programs are designed to nourish enthusiasm for learning and inspire lasting friendships among peers.
