This document outlines UNC Charlotte's efforts to build a non-dues based alumni membership program called PERKS to improve engagement. The program offers discounts and benefits to alumni through partnerships with local businesses. It is led by the alumni board and aims to collect updated alumni data and provide value to members. Since launching in November, the program has gained over 3,000 members, collected 18,000 new data points, and generated hundreds of leads for business partners, showing early signs of success in engaging alumni without charging dues.

Connected Campus Collage: Tales of Using Salesforce Across the LifecycleSalesforce.org
The idea of a Connected Campus is the ability to connect to all constituents in a whole new way leveraging social, mobile and cloud technologies on a single unified platform. While some are already there, many are still on a journey to becoming a Connected Campus where they use Salesforce as a system of engagement across the entire student lifecycle. Join us to learn how University of Minnesota, Tulane University, and George Mason University School of Business are using Salesforce across the student lifecycle and their journeys to become a connected campus.
Too often membership programs are siloed or do not get the internal support membership efforts deserve. Competing for internal resources, institutional email schedules, IT, and limited marketing resources can stifle membership’s full potential.
Case Study: History Colorado
The campaign integrated traditional direct mail and on-site sales with a series of social media contests, a mobile scavenger hunt, and an interactive Facebook tabs to expose audiences to History Colorado’s mission and membership messaging.
Case Study: Museum of Science, Boston
Leveraging digital marketing, the Museum acquired new gift givers and members from untapped sources. Successes included testing a set of messaging and offers, leveraging website retargeting and Facebook advertising, and reaching new audiences through an expanded email program and a partnership with a local parents magazine.
Best Practices
• Use social media contests to raise awareness, drive traffic to membership webpages, and capture prospect data
• Invest in highly targeted advertising to reach new and existing audiences
• Thread in mission-oriented messaging throughout
• Capture member stories
• Integrate online/offline
• Support with PR
• Ensure all touch points use the same message, creative, across channels
• Email is a critical channel to tie everything together
A Seat at the Table
Membership should be involved in:
• Shared goals, metrics, schedules, and reporting
• Google Analytics for membership pages (traffic and conversion goals)
• Google Grants and display advertising strategy
• Email communications schedules and use of in-house lists
• Landing pages, e-commerce systems, and product packaging
• Social media strategy and content management
Leveraging Wisr Beyond Mentorship at Cedarville UniversityJohn Knific
In her role as Director of Alumni Relations & Annual Giving, Stephanie Carroll wanted to bring the gap between alumni relations and career services, using these bridges:
1. Common Thought from Alumni: “We want to help the students”
2. Looking for a mentorship program that wouldn’t require a lot of staff time
3. Increase Alumni Affinity and Engagement
4. A desire to not have our alumni on multiple platforms
At the Faith-Based Institution Summit, Stephanie Carroll of Cedarville University spoke to the enormous difficulty of keeping alumni engaged when few regularly return to campus and the Alumni Relations department is under-resourced. As the Director of Alumni Relations, Stephanie noticed four key opportunities to bridge alumni relations and career services, without needing to increase staff resources. These relationships have successfully bolstered alumni engagement and appear to correlate with more frequent giving.

Oh the Places You'll Go! Practical Advice on the Development Career JourneyLynne Wester
Today, the field of development is in many ways a very different place, with greater value being placed on graduate education, innate skills, applied technology and sound donor relations skills. Given this increasingly professionalized and competitive environment, what are the prospects for those who wish to move within the development field? What development specific information does one need to know that isn't always covered by the job search websites and books?
This workshop will focus on career exploration and job search strategies such as informational interviewing, networking, and conveying one's professional self. This workshop is designed for individuals considering a career change or progression in development, current professionals interested in enhancing their knowledge base, and administrators who wish to understand the experiences and perspectives of potential future staff.
Creative Thank Yous and Cultivating an Attitude of GratitudeLynne Wester
Most nonprofits are leaking donors like crazy. They acquire; they don’t retain. On average folks lose 8 out of 10 donors after the first gift. While donors want to change the world with their gifts, most want something else too. It’s intangible, but it’s important. And if you won’t give it to them, someone else will. The important social acknowledgement and identity reinforcement that comes from a heartfelt, thoughtful thank you cannot be underestimated. Truly, how and when you thank your donors can make or break your entire fundraising program.
Social Media and Donor Relations, a Strategy for SuccessLynne Wester
With the dust settling on the social media explosion, now is the time to take a careful look at how this tool best fits into an overall donor relations strategy. The real value of social media, however, is in the genuine, authentic conversation that exists. Seeding and nurturing these online conversations, however, requires significant strategy and effort. Keeping up with the latest social networking rage is a challenge for even the most tech-savvy nonprofit, but recommending a social media strategy for your constituents to senior leadership is a whole other ball game. This session will help you navigate the world of social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) and be able to translate its benefits to your leadership.
When I'm Dead and Gone: Planned Giving StewardshipLynne Wester
Ideally, you should engage legacy donors even before they've made their gift commitment. Building an intentional bond with deferred giving donors improves your chances of receiving more support now, as well as the potential for increased legacy gifts. Learn how to develop a simple, yet strategic donor relations program for your planned giving donors that will build a lasting relationship now that will lead to greater support in the future.
Eat, Pray, Give: An Exploration of GenerosityLynne Wester

You don’t need a big budget and Leonardo DiCaprio to make a good video. In today’s media age, people are more likely to watch a video than they are to read a communication. While some development shops are leading the charge with full-time on-staff videographers, unfortunately too many are underutilizing this effective communication vehicle. In this practical session Lynne shares video samples and discusses how to personalize video for target audiences using inexpensive and easy-to-learn tools of the trade.
Telling the Untold Story of Unrestricted ImpactLynne Wester
So many of us do a great job telling the impact of scholarship funds on our organizations. We tell sweeping stories of the impact of a new building. But how do we tell the story of unrestricted or annual fund donors, those which we know are the most important but whose gifts we don’t steward well. Regardless of gift size, today’s annual fund donors expect more than a gift receipt acknowledging their contribution. Donors are looking to see the impact their philanthropy, and including the collective resources of the annual fund, are having on the institution. As we recognize that retaining donors is essential for long-term success, creating robust stewardship programs for your annual fund gifts across all levels is mission critical. In this session, we will explore the various messages and channels that have proven to be effective stewardship as we work to keep these donors engaged.
We celebrate the mega-donor and the consecutive donor, but are we paying enough attention to our mid-level donors? he donor pyramid has been replaced by the hourglass or sombrero as the number of major (what do you call these? Major? Leadership? Four to low five-figure) gift donors shrink. To build the donor pipeline we need to address the roadblocks to mid-level giving and implement an evidence-based strategy for success.
The concept behind speed dating is to meet as many people as possible as quickly as possible—and 99% of them you’ll never see again. Actually, that’s not too far off from the statistic that 80% of donors never make a second gift. So what can you do to develop a successful donor relations program, what works and what doesn’t, and how can you improve your retention rate? Learn how to form a lasting relationship with your donors.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
