Working alongside the client for 10+ years, we oversaw the student and alumni engagement efforts for the Sullivan Foundation, which provides social impact learning opportunities for young changemakers at more than 70 universities across the American Southeast.
With a network of thousands of alumni, faculty, and staff, we provided strategic support and implemented a variety of programs that strengthened the student engagement experience and exposed them to new career opportunities and mentors within our network.
These programs included fellowships, retreats, field trips, online trainings, virtual masterclass series, and coaching cohorts.
