The Alumni Posts module gives your alumni a simple way to share things with each other. An alum can add a post about anything they want their community to see - a career move, a milestone, a memory, a question, a bit of news - and it reaches the alumni who follow them.
Where Alumni Stories is about curated, longer-form stories that you can approve and showcase publicly, Alumni Posts is the everyday, social side of your community: shorter, more frequent, alumni-to-alumni. Think of Stories as your feature wall and Posts as the conversation happening in the room.
As an admin, you have full visibility and control over every post your alumni add.
The healthiest alumni communities aren't the ones where the school does all the talking - they're the ones where alumni talk to each other. Alumni Posts is what makes that happen.
💬 Alumni share directly with each other Any alum can add a post to share something with their fellow alumni - no staff involvement needed.
🔔 Followers stay in the loop When an alum posts, the alumni who follow them are notified in their dashboard activity feed.
👍 Real interaction Alumni can view, like, and comment on posts from an alum's profile page - the back-and-forth that keeps a community alive.
🌱 A community that grows itself The more alumni post and respond, the more reason they have to keep coming back - engagement that doesn't depend on you.
🛡️ Admin oversight, always You can view, preview, edit, delete, or archive any post, and see how each one is performing.
From an alum's point of view, Posts is straightforward and familiar - it works the way any social feed does.
This is what turns a directory of names into a community that actually talks to itself — alumni collaborating, congratulating, reconnecting, and keeping each other in the loop.
You have full control over the posts your alumni add. For any post, you can see the engagement it's generating and take action where you need to.
What you can see
For each post, you can view the number of likes and comments alongside the other details of the post - so you always have a clear picture of what's landing with your community.
What you can do
You have full control to manage any post your alumni add. For each one you can:
This oversight means your community stays open and self-driven, while you retain the ability to step in whenever something needs attention.
The two modules work well together, and it's worth being clear on the difference:
Most schools run both: Posts to keep the community active between the bigger moments, Stories to capture and showcase the moments themselves.
Alumni Stories — let alumni share longer stories you can approve, feature, and showcase publicly.
Chat Groups — create spaces for your alumni to connect and talk in real time.
Instagram & Facebook Integrations — connect your social accounts to bring your feeds into your alumni community.
Membership Payments — collect one-time or recurring alumni membership dues automatically.
