What does it take to truly align a campus around alumni engagement?
On this episode of Alumless, Ryan and Chris sit down with Kris Bosman, Chief Alumni Officer at the University of Utah, to explore how collaboration across campus can create scale and deepen alumni connections.
Using Utah’s 175th Anniversary as a case study, Kris shares how her team led a university-wide effort that brought together colleges, units, and athletics to create coordinated programming and shared momentum. The conversation dives into why collaboration is often so difficult in higher education and how leadership can reinforce a culture of shared ownership.
In the bonus segment, Kris highlights programs like Bringing the U to You and Ask an Alum as examples of scalable collaboration, discusses the role of volunteers in expanding reach, and reflects on how institutions can balance central strategy with local customization. She also looks ahead to what a fully collaborative alumni engagement model could look like in the years to come.
This episode of Alumless is made possible by our season sponsors Protopia, AlumnIQ, Givzey, with additional support from Richmond Associates.
