Student Organizations - The Background

Why are more and more schools and student organizations looking to solutions like Wild Apricot? Consider these facts:

• In the US, there are close to 4,200 institutes of higher learning, and the total US student body is approximately 15 million.
  
• In Canada, there are close to 300 such institutes with approximately 1.7 million students.
  
• Student body sizes range between 4,000 and 6,000.
  
• Student bodies are changing constantly as students arrive, progress through their academic careers, graduate, and move on.
• Most colleges and universities have a large number of student associations (fraternities, sororities, clubs, internship programs -- all in addition to the main student database) and the one thing they all have in common is that they all have to deal with the annual, or even quarterly, student migrations.

With its ease of use, powerful capabilities, familiar web interfaces and affordability, Wild Apricot is the perfect platform for any student organization looking to score an A+ in membership management.

Alumni - What Ever Happened to WhatsHerName?

Now think what happens when all (well, a large number, anyway) of those students graduate and become alumni. When they were students, you could at least find them somewhere on campus. Now that they've left those hallowed halls and moved on, they're far harder to keep tabs on.

That's the situation facing countless alumni associations throughout North America. If you're responsible for managing one of these associations, you know how hard it can be to keep your membership database up to date. If you're using a custom spreadsheet or simple database solution to track thousands of alumni, then you know it's a time-consuming, thankless, and nearly impossible task.

Wild Apricot's membership management software makes maintaining your alumni group database not only possible, but easy to set up and use as well. And most importantly, it helps you help your members and your association.
