Alumni Travel – The Untapped Strategy for Connection & Engagement

What if alumni engagement didn’t revolve around another banquet… but a shared experience at sea?
In this episode, we’re talking about alumni cruises—and why they might be one of the smartest, most underused strategies in higher education today.
Most institutions focus heavily on top-tier donors, but long-term sustainability comes from engaging alumni early and consistently. That’s where travel comes in.
We break down:
- Why alumni cruises fill the gap traditional programs miss
- How they create real connection across life stages
- The difference between high-end travel programs and accessible cruise options
- How universities can offer these experiences without taking on operational stress
And if you’re not part of an alumni association? This conversation still applies. Any group—clubs, organizations, or communities—can use travel to strengthen connection.
Plus, Ryan revisits his college days with a late-night pizza bagel that somehow earns a spot in this week’s Crusty Review 🍕
