Alumni Update Form

Keep alumni details current — where they are now and what they’re doing — so you can stay connected and share their stories.

Description

An alumni update form helps your institution stay connected with the people who’ve passed through it. Alumni move, change careers and achieve things worth celebrating, so giving them an easy way to share their news keeps your records current, your community engaged, and your newsletter full of the stories that make graduates proud to stay in touch.

It captures the alumnus’s name and email, the year they graduated, and what they’ve been up to since. A question on whether they’d like to be featured in your newsletter turns an update into content — and a way to keep the wider alumni community connected and inspired.

Customize the fields to match your institution, restyle it in your brand colors, and embed it on your alumni site so updates come straight in.

It’s a form graduates use to share their latest news and keep their details current. It captures where they are now and what they’re doing, so your institution can stay connected, keep records up to date, and gather stories to share with the alumni community.

What does the form capture?

The alumnus’s name and email, the year they graduated, and what they’ve been up to since. A question on whether they’d like to be featured in your newsletter completes an update you can use to keep the community engaged.

When would someone use it?

Any time an alum has news — a new job, an achievement, a move — or when you run an alumni outreach campaign. Keeping the form open lets graduates share updates as life happens, so your records stay fresh and your community keeps in touch.

Who is this form for?

Why ask about featuring them in the newsletter?

Alumni updates make great content, but you need permission to share them. Asking whether they’d like to be featured turns a personal update into newsletter material with consent, so you can celebrate graduates’ achievements and keep the whole community inspired and engaged.

Is this form free to use?

Yes — it’s free. Create a Fun Forms account, customize the fields to match your institution, restyle it to your brand, and embed it on your alumni site with no coding. Updates then collect in one place, keeping your community connected.
