Q: Our program would like to have alumni reach out to potential applicants or current undergraduate students to apply to a graduate program. What is the best way to do this?
A: If the alumni is associated with the University in an official capacity, you are not able to share potential applicant information without consent. As an alternative, you could share the first names of students and ask the alumni to write cards out to "Dear First Name," and then the department could send the cards directly to the students on the alumni’s behalf. You would still want to make sure they are not sent to anyone with a full suppression.
Some departments reach out to specific students and ask them if they are interested in hearing from alumni, engaging in conversations, etc. If they "opt in," you could share their contact information more widely.
