Social Software: A New Alumni Recruiting Tool?

This, by way of the socialsoftware blog: Stanford University, the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan have all adopted Affinity Engines' inCircle software to help alumni stay in contact with one another, and with their almae matres. Here's a testimonial from Howard Wolf, the President of the Stanford Alumni Association: "Affinity Engines helped the Stanford Alumni Association build an online community for its 170,000 members. In just 3 months, we received over 8,000 updates to alumni contact information, 1,000 new online alumni registrations, and made over 150,000 connections between alumni. Affinity Engines is helping us realize a dream we have held for years - a virtual community of Stanford alumni."
