About LLUSM

Loma Linda School of Medicine is a 113 years old medical school based in Loma Linda, CA. Despite a massive network of alumni from the school, they were not able to keep them engaged due to the lack of an online community.

Challenges In Alumni Engagement

Ineffective alumni engagement online

Even after trying to keep their alumni engaged on social media channels, Loma Linda School of Medicine could not digitally engage their alumni with meaningful conversations.

Lower alumni participation rates

Irrespective of the cause or interest they were addressing, Loma Linda School of Medicine consistently saw a lower alumni participation rate as compared to other schools.

Lower alumni donation amounts

Loma Linda School of Medicine could not get their alumni to donate amounts as per their financial capacity, making their fundraising events not as effective.

The school experienced an increase in both alumni participation rate, as well as the average amounts being donated by those engaged online.

Increased Average Alumni Donation

With better alumni engagement, LLUSM also saw an exponential increase in their average alumni donation. The average amount of contribution by alumnus registered on their online community ($2255.57) was found to be more than twice the average amount donated by the alumnus who hadn’t registered on the platform ($1124.3027).

Better alumni membership benefits

Loma Linda School of Medicine was able to provide tiered membership benefits to its alumni. It also became their primary channel for collecting membership dues, making the process easier for both the alumnus and the advancement team.
