Abstract | Institutions build armies of alumni advocates to influence legislators and shape public opinion. This article describes two types of alumni advocacy: grasstops and grassroots. Grasstops advocacy engages smaller, targeted groups of alumni who have a stronger, more influential connection with legislators and other public officeholders. Grassroots advocacy casts a wider net and involves the larger alumni body. A university sends messages and action alerts to alumni that they can then distribute within their networks. (ERIC). |
