    • Objective 4: Build alumni association web page.
    • Objective 5: Send monthly e-communications to the Seattle Central alumni email list (provided by Katie Metcalf).
      • Strategic Plan 1: Monthly e-news brief will provide a “quick connection” for readers.
      • Strategic Plan 2: Implement a questionnaire for alumni to fill out to gather data on where people are now and what they are doing. (use Survey Monkey)
      • Strategic Plan 3: Feature brief stories on specific alumni (where they are, etc.)
  • Goal 3: Provide opportunities for alumni to give back to Seattle Central through service to the college.
    • Objective 1: Serve annually as readers for the Seattle Central Foundation Scholarship Program.
