Know your alumni community.
Keep it current.
Advancement teams can't fundraise, plan events, or connect constituents on stale, incomplete data. Studiously turns three data points — name, high school, and class year — into a full alumni intelligence profile, and keeps it up to date automatically as alumni move, change jobs, and grow in their careers.
The starting point
See the data gap
The alumni intelligence problem every advancement office faces
Alumni offices are expected to run sophisticated fundraising campaigns, host targeted regional events, and connect constituents — all on data that is decades out of date. The gap between what advancement teams need to know and what they actually know is enormous.
No career information
Current employer, title, and work history are blank or years old for most alumni — making industry targeting and major gift identification nearly impossible.
Unknown locations
Without current city and state data, regional event planning is guesswork and geographic outreach campaigns fall flat.
Missing LinkedIn profiles
LinkedIn URLs are virtually never in alumni databases, making it impossible to verify records, enrich data, or understand career trajectories.
Bounced contact information
Email addresses go stale when alumni change jobs. Large portions of outreach lists bounce before they're ever read.
No college data
Which college an alumnus attended after your school is completely absent from most databases — a critical gap for Ivy fundraising and affinity-based outreach.
No community-wide view
With fragmented, incomplete records there's no way to understand your alumni community as a whole — who they are, where they work, or how to reach them.
What Studiously finds for every alumnus
Starting with nothing but a name, high school, and graduation year, Studiously builds a complete career intelligence profile for each alumnus — and keeps it up to date.
Not a snapshot.
A living record.
A one-time data enrichment project immediately starts going stale. Alumni change jobs, move to new cities, earn advanced degrees, and shift industries constantly. Studiously monitors for these changes and automatically updates each alumnus's record — so your advancement team always has current intelligence, not a historical snapshot.

What advancement teams do with it
When you have accurate, current intelligence on your entire alumni community, three major advancement functions become dramatically more effective.
Fundraising
Identify major gift prospects by industry, employer, and career trajectory. Know which alumni are at private equity firms, which are partners at law firms, and which have climbed to C-suite roles — before you make the call.
Events
Plan regional events with real location data. Know exactly how many alumni are in Boston, Chicago, or San Francisco before committing to a venue — and send invitations to verified, current contact information.
Constituent Connection
Connect students with alumni mentors in specific industries and colleges. Enable alumni-to-alumni networking. Give your advancement team the intelligence to broker meaningful introductions at scale — without the manual research.
Frequently asked questions
What is alumni data enrichment?
Alumni data enrichment fills in missing career, education, and contact information for alumni in your school's database. Starting from basic records — name, high school, graduation year — Studiously finds and appends current employer, job title, college attended, graduate degrees, city of residence, LinkedIn URL, and email address.
How does Studiously find alumni career information?
Studiously cross-references public professional data sources, alumni networks, and proprietary matching algorithms to identify career records. The platform matches each alumnus by name, school, and class year, then builds a complete profile — current role, employer, college, location, and contact information — without any manual research by your team.
What data does an enriched alumni profile include?
Each profile includes: current employer and job title, full career history, undergraduate college and any graduate degrees, current city and region, LinkedIn profile URL, and a verified email address. Profiles are categorized by industry sector so advancement teams can filter and segment the community in the dashboard.
How does Studiously keep alumni data current?
Studiously monitors alumni records continuously and refreshes profiles when alumni change jobs, move cities, earn new degrees, or update their professional information. A one-time data append degrades quickly — typically 20–30% of records are stale within 18 months. Studiously's ongoing updates mean you always have a live view of your community, not a snapshot.
What can advancement teams do with this intelligence?
Advancement teams use alumni intelligence for major gift prospect identification (filtering by employer and industry), targeted regional outreach, event planning in cities with high alumni density, reconnecting with lost alumni using current contact info, and reporting on the career outcomes of the school's graduates. The Studiously dashboard lets teams slice data by class year, region, college attended, and industry — and export filtered lists directly to their CRM.
Which schools is Studiously designed for?
Studiously is built for independent day schools, boarding schools, and prep schools with active advancement programs. Schools with alumni communities ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of graduates benefit — particularly those whose alumni records are incomplete, outdated, or were never systematically enriched.
