Your most powerful content, told properly, by the community itself
Featured stories curated by your team, and stories submitted by alumni themselves. A dedicated narrative channel where the achievements and journeys of your past students get the editorial treatment they deserve, instead of scrolling off a news feed in a fortnight.
Now live. Included in every plan: Starter ($199/mo), Lite, Growth, and Pro.
The community writes the content, versus you chasing every story alone. A dedicated storytelling channel, so the best stories surface without your team writing every one.
Every school has incredible alumni stories: graduates who founded companies, won awards, served their communities, taught generations. But schools rarely have a dedicated channel to tell them properly. They show up as news posts that scroll off the front page, or photos with captions that do not do them justice, and then they are gone.
Alumni Stories changes that: a curated storytelling module where featured stories get real visual and editorial treatment, and where alumni submit their own, so the community helps write the content.
Admin-featured stories for your curated narratives, alumni-submitted stories for the community's own voice, with an approval workflow so quality stays high. Rich media throughout. Every published story flows into the next snapshot email automatically.
Featured stories you curate, plus stories alumni submit themselves
Your team highlights the stories worth telling, a founder profile, a generational graduate, a sporting achievement, and featured stories get hero treatment on the alumni site and prominent placement in snapshot emails. Meanwhile past students submit their own career milestones, life changes and reflections through an approval workflow, so editorial quality stays high without your team being the sole content engine. The community writes the content with you.
Rich media: photos, video, formatted text
Stories are not just text. Embed hero videos, photo galleries, pull quotes and formatted body copy, the editorial polish that makes a great alumni story sing rather than sit flat.
Auto-feeds the snapshot email and the app
New stories appear in the next scheduled snapshot email automatically, and surface on the alumni network home screen and the mobile app. Stories get distribution, not just storage.
Categories and a growing archive
Stories organise by type (career, community service, generational, sporting, creative) and by year, building an archive that becomes the school's public narrative over time, useful for the prospectus, the website and fundraising appeals.
A dedicated storytelling channel, not news posts that get buried within a fortnight.
Your editorial workflow gains a dedicated narrative channel. Feature one alumni story a month, and open submissions to the community for the other thirty days. The module surfaces the best stories without your team writing every one, and stories no longer disappear into the news scroll.
A growing public narrative that warms donors, attracts new family enrolments, and celebrates the community.
Alumni Stories becomes a strategic content asset over time. The archive of featured stories tells the school's ongoing narrative, useful for the prospectus, the website, fundraising appeals and the broader story of the school's impact across generations.
