As we begin to make inroads into 2023 here is the opportunity for me to lay out the plans for the future in ISP alumni relations.

We have been able to start up the face to face reunions and we will continue to do this in Paris, London and Tokyo and we would love to add some other cities to this. Please let us know if you would be interested in helping to coordinate a meet-up in your city/region.

Currently we are using four platforms to communicate with you and it is in this area that we hope you will see developments. 

Linked to ISP main page. Alumni messages, requests and events will appear here. Total Linked Alumni: 1,238

@ispalumni  This will cover events, news from the school and alumni events. Total Followers: 133 followers 

 FB Group (sign up access).This has community, self-generated content, news and events Total Members: 1,543

At the moment there are over 1700 alumni registered on the alumni platform (alumni.isparis.edu) however, barely 50 have completed their personal details so one big ask I have for everyone is to fill out your details and post a photo.

Shortly there will be a survey for alumni in order to take relevant engagement actions to develop the site with what you want to see and  celebrate.

We have several other projects which we would like to start in order to strengthen the ISP world-wide network.

• Digitalize ISP Yearbooks which will provide useful access to old photos and news material

• Launch the ‘Faces of ISP’ testimonial project
• Build a group of 20 - 40 alumni ‘advisors’ to create University affiliations, geographic affiliations, areas of interest (e.g. performing arts)

• Alumni affinity groups as self-moderated modules coordinating reunions, meet-ups and other events.
• ISP’s 60th anniversary alumni celebrations including gathering Alumnni Testimonials/Memories

Pleae get in touch with your ideas and look out for the survey!

All the best for 2023
