| Abstract: | In 2025, 398 institutions from 18 countries across all four regions participated in CASE Insights℠ on Alumni Engagement. At a time when the education sector is facing considerable headwinds, it is encouraging to see these institutions reporting on the engagement of over 11.8 million alumni worldwide. CASE's rigorous approach provides these institutions with an industry-wide framework for defining and tracking engagement activity across four modes--communication, experiential, volunteering, and philanthropy. The data collected not only helps practitioners evaluate their programs and initiatives but also raises the visibility of their work internally and externally. Now in its seventh year, CASE Insights℠ on Alumni Engagement is playing an important role in helping institutions tell more nuanced stories of alumni connections. For the first time, the 2025 Key Findings includes a special supplement with institutional spotlights to showcase how practitioners around the world are using the framework to inform their work, deepen alumni relationships, and demonstrate impact. Throughout this year's report, medians are used so that readers may assess their institution's performance against the midpoint of the data. This approach is preferred to averages, which can be distorted by wide distributions. In addition, due to rounding, totals in tables and figures may not add up and percentages may not equal 100. In 2025, for the first time, CASE added a question to the survey to gather qualitative responses on how institutions use the CASE alumni engagement framework to guide their work. In addition to collecting feedback through the survey, CASE conducted interviews with selected survey participants to gather specific examples to share. The Special Supplement includes an analysis of the qualitative responses, providing the five main ways that institutions are using the data along with seven institutional profiles illustrating how institutions are leveraging alumni engagement data to inform strategy, assess outcomes, and deepen alumni connections. |
