Most alumni pages suffer from the same fate: they start as a placeholder and slowly become a digital junk drawer.

School history, giving links, reunion dates, a signup form, a scanned class photo from 1993—it all gets piled into one endless scroll. The result? Nobody reads it, updates stall, and the page becomes a ghost town.

The fix isn’t a full redesign. It’s smarter structure and strategic placement.

Use the Pages You Already Have

Your homepage, events calendar, blog, and giving pages can all host alumni-specific content with small tweaks. Instead of hiding everything behind one “Alumni” tab, surface content in places people actually visit.

Break Up Content by Function

Don’t list events, giving links, stories, and form fields all on one page. Split them by intent. Add a short “Get Involved” section with clear links to:

• Upcoming alumni events
• Featured stories or spotlights
• Ways to give or volunteer

Make It Easy to Update

If the page requires a full edit every time something changes, it’ll get neglected. Use dynamic sections (like blog categories or event plugins) to keep things fresh automatically.

You don’t need to overbuild. You just need to stop stuffing everything into one forgotten page.

Want examples? Here’s how to keep your alumni section useful—without turning it into a mess.
