The Virtual Alumni House platform will be an estimated cost of $7,500-$10,000 per year. Career Services is willing to contribute $2,000 to help with the annual fee. Reducing the paper copies printed and mailed for The Forum alumni magazine will shift some of the External Affairs contribution towards the platform. Approximately $6,000 is spent for the paper Forum alumni magazine. There may be a small need for support for the difference depending on the final proposal.
Alumni Affairs is collaborating with Career Services to research and recommend a vendor to serve as a platform for the virtual alumni house.
