- Feature Article: Making Best Use of Alumni Networks in China
As foreign universities continue to deepen their relationship with China, engaging with alumni in China is becoming an increasingly valuable way to develop broader and stronger networks of supporters and collaborators. How to reach them? What are they looking for from their network? Do they donate? CHE Journal Issue 11 provides an update on the state of alumni engagement in China, information on how to reach out to alumni and how best to engage with them. Issue 11 also explores the objectives of building an alumni network in China through in-market observations.
