EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
 
From March 15, 2010 – April 1, 2010, the Juniata Alumni Association 
conducted an internet‐based survey of 3,224 Juniata alumni about their 
attitudes and connectedness to their alma mater.  The survey group 
represented 23% of all Juniata alumni and reflected the general 
demographic attributes of the Juniata alumni population.  
 
The survey found fundamentally that Juniata alumni possess and project a 
considerable amount of good will toward their alma mater.  They are proud 
of their affiliation with Juniata and find meaning in expressing that loyalty 
in positive and responsive ways.   Most alums are positive about their 
Juniata experience and want to continue to remain connected to the 
college, other alumni and current Juniata students. 
 
The connection that most Juniata alumni feel for Juniata is triangular: most 
alums say their foremost connection to Juniata is through their continued 
relationships with former classmates and friends.  It is the shared Juniata 
experience among alumni that creates the bond of loyalty toward Juniata.  
 
Alumni like to stay informed about Juniata. Some are hungry for more 
information to become better advocates for Juniata.  In an increasingly 
digital world, The Juniata magazine remains a powerful force in connecting 
the college with alumni. Its appeal as a tangible way for alumni to connect 
with Juniata remains, with ninety‐three percent of alumni saying they to 
look forward to reading it. 
 
About one‐half of alums feel that financial support is a way to show their 
support for the school and its mission to educate young men and women. 
Gratitude for the value of a Juniata diploma and the underlying educational 
experience represents the primary incentive for giving back to Juniata.   
 
There is a preference among Juniata alumni for little steps of volunteerism, 
not wide strides.  Alumni connectedness to JC does not necessarily 
correlate with volunteer commitment.  A majority of Juniata alums are 
more comfortable wearing Juniata T‐shirts or reminiscing about Mountain 

2
Day than taking on continuous, even if temporary, volunteer commitments 
like mentoring a student, speaking with students on campus about jobs 
during Career Day, or even returning to campus for Alumni 
Weekend/Homecoming each fall.  
 
For alums who have stepped forward to make a commitment, there was 
wide frustration among those who previously participated in Juniata 
alumni‐student mentoring efforts.  Nearly all alumni feedback about their 
mentoring experience was negative. Particular frustration was aimed at the 
one‐sidedness of the experience and the perception that participating 
students were not genuinely interested in receiving alumni advice and 
feedback, and maintained little follow‐up.  Despite that, approximately one 
in three Juniata alumni indicated they were willing to interact with current 
Juniata students in the future in a variety of ways.  The greatest amount of 
appeal related to mentoring a student or hosting a student in the alum’s 
home during a visit to the alum’s area. 

Almost half of Juniata alumni do not think that Juniata alumni as a whole 
are engaged with current students.   Equally half of Juniata alumni report 
that they have had interaction with Juniata students.   
 
Organized events that once drew alumni back to campus do not appear to 
be as popular today as they once did.  Alums are more interested in 
participating in Juniata‐related regional events closer to home than 
returning to campus.  
 
At the same time, there is a deep commitment among Juniata alumni 
toward service.  A significant number (nearly 80%) of Juniata alumni say 
they at some point have participated in a local, national or international 
service project or volunteer program.  Two‐thirds of alumni would consider 
participating in a local, national or international service project or volunteer 
program affiliated with Juniata, with most preferring participation at the 
local level.

WHY AND HOW THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED 
 
The survey aimed to assist the Juniata Alumni Council and the College’s 
Office of Alumni Relations in pursuing the strategic plan adopted in June 
2009 to guide continued growth and improvement for the college.  The 
strategic plan serves to guide and measure the effectiveness of Juniata’s 
alumni program and programs.  The survey will help to measure alumni 
interest and program effectiveness, as well as serve as a baseline for future 
surveys 
 
The survey aimed to measure alumni opinion and attitudes on the four 
primary areas of alignment of the strategic plan:  
 
• Alumni connectedness with the college; 
• Alumni connectedness with alumni; 
• Alumni connectedness with current students; and  
• Alumni connectedness with the community and the world. 
 
The survey was conducted from March 15, 2010 – April 1, 2010 via an 
internet‐based survey. Alumni for whom the college possessed email 
addresses were invited to participate in the survey, and 39% of that group 
responded. Overall, 23% of Juniata alumni (3,224 of 13,994 Juniata alumni) 
participated. The survey group represented reflected the general 
demographic attributes of the Juniata alumni population.  
 
The creation of the survey and its analysis were conducted by an Alumni 
Council workgroup comprised of: Co‐chairs Bruce Moyer and Lisa Jenkins, 
Nicole Close, Carol Connell Cannon, David Corman, Nathaniel Ehrlich, Jodie 
Monger Gray, Brad Haubert, Sally Nelling Herritt, Eric Jensen, Frank Pote, 
Jeffrey Rush and Judy Swartley.  Significant support and assistance also 
were provided by Juniata staff, including Jim Watt, Candice Hersh, Sally 
Oberle and Carlee Ranalli. 
 
Each survey finding in the following summary identifies the corresponding 
survey question.  The survey itself, along with the number and percentage 
of responses to each survey question, is found in the Appendix.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS 
 
Connectedness between Alumni and the College 
 
Information and Communication 
 
In an increasingly digital world, the Juniata magazine still remains a major 
force in continuing to connect Juniata alumni and the college.   Perhaps 
because of its power as a tangible connection to Juniata, An overwhelming 
majority (93%) of Juniata alumni say they remain informed about Juniata 
through the Juniata magazine.   A wide majority of alumni (76%) also obtain 
information about Juniata through personal contact with alumni friends.  A 
significant majority (70%) also gain information about Juniata through its 
website (70%).   About half of alumni obtain information about Juniata 
through the Juniata NewsGroup and social networking sites. (Q 30)  

 
Enrollment and Advocacy  
 
There are some signs of concern regarding alumni advocacy for Juniata as a 
tool for sustaining high enrollment at the college. Many more alumni say 
they once served as an Admissions Ambassador than they do now.  Slightly 
greater numbers of alumni also report that they previously talked to 
potential Juniata students more in the past than they do currently. (Q 32)   
Slightly less than one‐half of Juniata alums say they are likely to talk to 
potential Juniata students in the future.  (Q 33)   
 
Overall, one‐third of alumni consider themselves informed (and another 
one‐third not informed) about Juniata in being an advocate for the college.  
(Q 29)  About 20% of alumni talk about Juniata or their Juniata experience 
with others about once a month. (Q 31).  In fact, some alumni say they are  
 

5
hungry for more information to become better advocates for Juniata.∗ 
 
Giving Back 
 
Giving back to Juniata, in the minds of Juniata alumni, represents more 
than making a financial donation.  Forty‐one percent of Juniata alumni 
believe that participation in college‐sponsored activities or regional alumni 
events, for example, are ways of “giving back” to Juniata.  Only Sixteen 
percent disagree that participation in this way constitutes “giving back.”  (Q 
17) 
 
One‐half of alumni are likely to make a financial contribution to Juniata, 
one‐quarter are not, and about one‐quarter remain undecided. (Q 18) 
About the same percentage (12%) are likely to include Juniata in their will 
and estate planning arrangements.  (Q 18) 
 
Gratitude for the value of a Juniata diploma and the underlying educational 
experience represents the primary incentive motivating Juniata alums give 
back to Juniata.  This sense of thankfulness is associated in the minds of 
some alumni with Juniata’s initial risk in accepting them years earlier for 
enrollment: “Juniata took a chance on me” was how one Juniata alumnus 
succinctly characterized it. The character of the “Juniata experience” and 
how it shaped an alum’s personhood and life is identified by many alums as 
the primary force that motivates them to “give back” to Juniata.  (Q 19) 

∗
One alum commented:  “If I would have been armed with stats by JC, I 
could have been much more persuasive.  For example, in EVERY issue of the 
alum magazine, there should be two pages of stats:  (1) The same stats 
about the number of folks going to the med/dental school of their choice, 
the number of students that graduate in 4 years or less, the # of students 
going to grad school, etc.  These stats should be in every issue to drum it 
into alum’s heads.   Then when the opportunity presents itself to speak to 
potential students, the alum is intimately familiar with these fabulous stats 
and can “sell” the potential student on JC. (2) The “stat of the quarter” ‐‐‐
give alum something new to read to entice them to read the other stat 
page.  Not only will this be new and intriguing, it will also get the reader to 
see the other stats listed above.” 

6
 
 
 
Juniata Apparel and Traditions 
 
Almost two‐thirds of Juniata alumni indicate they have worn Juniata 
apparel in the past and are doing it now.  (Q 32)   A significant majority of 
Juniata alumni say they are likely to wear Juniata apparel in the future. 
(Q 33) 
 
Talking about Juniata traditions remains constant.  (Q 32)   Slight majorities 
said they were likely to talk about Juniata traditions and display Juniata‐
branded items in the future.  (Q 33) 
 
 
 

7
Connectedness between Alumni  
 
Maintaining and Building Alumni Relationships 
 
The connection that most Juniata alumni feel for Juniata is triangular: most 
alums say their foremost connection to Juniata is through their 
communication with Juniata friends, primarily classmates.  It is the shared 
Juniata experience among alumni that creates the bond of loyalty toward 
Juniata.  
 
Direct personal contact among alumni with one another as friends (through 
calls, emails and visits) and through reading the Class Notes in the magazine 
represents the most common way that alumni stay connected with one 
another.  
 
Slightly more than half connect through Social Networking sites, the Juniata 
website and the Juniata NewsGroup.  One‐quarter of alumni use 
professional networking sites to connect with Juniata alumni. (Q 5)  The 
likelihood in the future of how alumni expect they will communicate with 
or connect with one another and in what ways trends along the same lines 
as the current practice (Q 6). 
 
Nearly one‐half of Juniata alums identify friendship, camaraderie, shared 
history and social connections as a primary expectation in their relationship 
with Juniata alums.  More than 20% of Juniata alumni point to 
career/professional networking as a primary expectation.  At the same 
time, approximately the same number indicate they expect nothing or not 
much from their relationship with other alumni, an outgrowth of a larger 
sense of disconnectedness to alumni and the college itself.  (Q 15) 
 
Alumni believe that their strongest relationships are through people from 
their own class or classmates of another year who were on campus at the 
same time.  (Q 7)  Very little connection exists between alumni and current 
or past faculty or administration, or to a coach or varsity sports team or 
campus organization. (Q 16) 
 
 

8
Alumni Programming 
 
Attending a Juniata class reunion is perceived by the greatest number of 
Juniata alumni as strengthening their relationship with other alumni, nearly 
twice that of attending a regional alumni event or Homecoming/Family 
Weekend in the fall or Alumni Weekend in the spring.  (Q 8) 
 
The likelihood that alumni will participate in future alumni‐related events 
trends along the same lines of current participation, with almost half of 
Juniata alumni saying they will consider attending a Juniata regional event 
or a reunion on campus in the future to enhance their relationship with 
other alumni.  Only one‐quarter of alumni will consider participating in 
Homecoming/Family Weekend in the fall or Alumni Weekend in the spring 
or attending an on‐campus event.  (Q 9) 
 
Although Juniata alumni support volunteerism as a whole, they tend to 
prefer their own volunteer participation to come about in small portions, 
not large quantities. Alumni connectedness to JC does not necessarily 
correlate with volunteer commitment.  Alums are more comfortable 
wearing Juniata T‐shirts, or reminiscing about Mountain Day than taking on 
a continuous, even if temporary, commitment like mentoring a student, 
speaking with students on campus about jobs during Career Day, or even 
returning to campus for Alumni Weekend/Homecoming each fall.  
 
A significant majority of Juniata alumni are not likely to volunteer to help 
with Homecoming/Family Weekend, Alumni Weekend, organize a class 
reunion or regional alumni event, or participate in Career Day.  Slightly 
more than one out of every ten alumni were willing to serve on Alumni 
Council or serve as a class fund agent.  
 
Very little connection exists between alumni and current or past faculty or 
administration, or to a coach or varsity sports team or campus organization.  
(Q 16) 
 
Far more alums say they at some point brought co‐workers, neighbors 
and/or friends to regional events than they are currently.   (Q 32) 
 

9
At the same time, there is a deep commitment among Juniata alumni 
toward service.   Nearly 80% of Juniata alumni say they at some point have 
participated in a local, national or international service project or volunteer 
program.  (Q 32)  Approximately one‐third of Juniata alums say they are 
currently participating in a service project or volunteer program.  Two‐
thirds of alumni would consider participating in a local, national or 
international service project or volunteer program affiliated with Juniata.  
(Q 10)   A significant greater number of alumni preferred participation in a 
Juniata service‐oriented project at the local level than at the regional or 
national level.  (Q 11) 
 
 
Web‐Based Alumni Platform 
 
Interest in use or a secure web‐based resource that could refer alumni to 
other alumni in their field is mixed.  Slightly more alumni than not say they 
would be inclined to use such a web resource.  (Q 12) 
 
Approximately 40 percent of Juniata alumni who intend to hire a new 
employee indicated they would use a secure web‐based resource that 
identified Juniata alumni in that field.  About one‐quarter of alumni indicate 
they would not be inclined to use such a resource.  (Q 13) 
 
Nearly half of Juniata alumni indicate they would post their current career 
information and would be willing to have students and/or alumni contact 
them about professional services or career networking. About one‐quarter 
of alumni indicated they would not post their career information.  (Q 14) 
 
 

10
Connectedness between Alumni and Students 
 
Almost half of Juniata alumni do not think that Juniata alumni as a whole 
are engaged with current students. (Q 21)  At the same time, about half of 
Juniata alumni have had interaction with Juniata students.  (Q 23)    
 
 
Student Assistance 
 
Of Juniata alumni who have interacted with Juniata undergrads in the past, 
the most frequent activities involved mentoring a student (37%), or helping 
a student with a job search (34%).  (Q 24)  For those alumni who have 
interacted with Juniata students, the most satisfying interaction involved 
discussing and comparing one’s own experience as a Juniata student.  
Discussing post‐JC work experience, social interests, life experiences and 
grad school also were satisfying to a majority of alums.  (Q 25) 
 
Alums expressed broad frustration in their participation in Juniata alum‐
student mentoring efforts. Nearly all alumni feedback about their 
mentoring experience was negative. Particular frustration was aimed at the 
one‐sidedness of the experience and the perception that participating 
students were not genuinely interested in receiving alumni advice and 
feedback.  Some thought the student was clueless in how to participate on 
their end.  Unreturned emails and drop‐offs were common.  Alumni 
disappointment also was extended to the college’s administrative effort in 
managing and coordinating mentoring efforts.  Some alumni say they 
would be less inclined to communicate and collaborate in other Juniata 
networking/career initiatives in the future because of their negative 
experience.  (Q 26) 

Notwithstanding alumni frustration with past Juniata alum‐student 
mentoring efforts, approximately one in three Juniata alumni indicate they 
are willing to interact with current Juniata students in the future in a variety 
of ways.  The greatest amount of appeal related to mentoring a student or 
hosting a student in the alum’s home during a visit to the alum’s area.  (Q 
28) Discussing post‐JC work experiences was the most appealing subject of 
discussion that alumni were interested in having with current Juniata 
students.  (Q 27) 

11
 
 
Connectedness between Alumni, Juniata and the World 
 
Nearly half of Juniata alums feel that Juniata is not known across the 
country. (Q 34)  A majority of Juniata alumni feel that Juniata is not well‐
known to people in other countries.  (Q 36) 
 
Alumni are uncertain as to how Juniata can become better known 
nationally and internationally. One‐quarter of alums indicate they don’t 
know the answer.  Nearly the same number suggests a role for an alumnus 
that involves alumni spreading the word, networking and wearing Juniata 
apparel.  Ten percent feel that Juniata’s national profile is fine as is.   
 
A variety of useful ideas emerged from the survey, including broader 
contact with targeted high schools across the country, targeted advertising 
about Juniata in major cities, greater participation in college fairs across the 
country, broader effort to improve the college’s national rankings, 
promotion of its scholarships and financial aid programs, a better football 
program and a better website.  (Q 35) 
 
Alumni‐suggested ideas to improve Juniata’s international standings 
included continuing and expanding Juniata’s foreign exchange programs 
with other schools, internships and service projects for students abroad, 
strengthening ties with and encouraging Juniata alums living abroad to 
promote Juniata, and sending Juniata faculty abroad to teach.  (Q 37)

PROGRAM INITIATIVES 

As an integral part of the Juniata community, the Alumni Association 
supports the mission of the College and the principles upon which the 
institution was founded.   It will continue to work with the Juniata Office of 
Alumni Relations toward building lifelong relationships between Juniata 
and its alumni.  
 
The survey aimed to assist the Alumni Association and the Alumni Office to 
measure and assess alumni interest in current and prospective alumni 
programs and their effectiveness.  In early 2010 the Alumni Office, working 
in collaboration with Alumni Council, performed a needs assessment of the 
office’s alumni program portfolio.  That assessment, along with this survey, 
has assisted the Alumni Office to revise and realign its annual Program 
Operations Plan. 
 
As a result, the following programmatic modifications and enhancements 
are underway. 
 
Affinity Programs.  Career affinity programs will become joint ventures 
between the Alumni Office and academic departments, propelled by 
alumni volunteer support.  They will be geared specifically toward building 
alumni‐to‐student and alumni‐to‐alumni career connections on campus and 
in the regions.  (E.g., Peace and Conflict Studies Workshop DC Trip, Law 
Careers Panel, classroom speakers).  Affinity reunions will be geared toward 
activity‐related groups.  (E.g.. Choir and Band reunions, Tangerine Bowl 
Reunion).  (Q7, Q8, Q13, Q16, Q25, Q27, Q28) 
 
Regional Programs.  The Regional Program will continue to serve as a major 
portal to build and sustain connections among Juniatians in their own 
geographic communities.  Their success will rely upon the development of 
highly committed regional volunteer leadership structures supported by 
the Alumni Council and the Alumni Office. Existing Juniata Clubs will be 
reorganized and new Clubs will be developed.  Social events in areas 
without Clubs will continue, but new and additional volunteers will be 
recruited to organize and create Clubs. Engagement events that include 

13
College staff will be organized by the Alumni Office with volunteer support.  
(Q32, Q34)        
 
Creation of an Online Searchable Directory.  This technology piece will give 
alumni and current students the ability to easily obtain up‐to‐date profile 
information to remain connected with one another.  The opt‐in directory 
will assist and advance regional clubs, affinity programming, mentoring, 
volunteering, and career networking. The directory system will 
communicate efficiently with current internal systems of data collection 
and will be managed by the Alumni Office, Data Processing, and the Office 
of Information Technology.  (Q5, Q12, Q13, Q14) 
 
International Regional Club. In order to foster a stronger international 
presence, alums living in Europe will form a European Regional Club.  Their 
largest event, the international reunion, will be open to all alums.  
Invitations will be sent to alumni interested in international travel and 
those who have studied abroad.  The European Regional Club will also 
apply to become a chartered member in FY2011.  (Q34, Q36, Q36)         
 
Career Networking. The Alumni Council will continue to maintain a robust 
committee that contributes to the success of Juniata’s Career Weekend. 
The Council’s leadership and involvement in recent years have considerably 
improved Juniata’s Career Day and supporting programs. Alumni Council, 
Career Services and the Alumni Office will work to foster continued growth.  
Such improvements are the Career Workshops, Career Mentors, and the 
development of the Resource Center.  The Career Networking Committee 
will help enhance additional programs throughout campus that focus on 
Alum‐to‐Alum and Alum‐to‐Student Career Networking (For example, Job 
Shadow Program and Mentoring) (Q13, Q21, Q23, Q24, Q26, Q27, Q28) 
 
Homecoming and Alumni Weekend. These are the two biggest events on 
campus that draw the largest numbers of all constituents.  They are 
representations of Juniata’s value to the alum.  Based on feedback from a 
variety of sources, alumni are looking for more engagement from the 
College.  The attendance numbers show a plateau, but the survey shows a 
significant desire to return.  The desire is to give alums a reason to return 
through accentuating the programming and changing our marketing by 

14
developing a word of mouth or friend‐to‐friend marketing campaign, using 
social media and the class notes section of the magazine to highlight the 
new programming endeavors.    (Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q15, Q16) 
  
Council Enrollment Committee.  An Enrollment Committee will be formed 
within the Alumni Council to collaborate with the Enrollment Office to help 
improve the Juniata Admissions Ambassador program and encourage the 
Alumni Association to continue to grow alumni referrals and interaction 
with prospective students. (Q21, Q24, Q34)       
 
Juniata National Day of Service.  In response to the survey, the Alumni 
Association will consider the sponsorship of a Juniata National Day of 
Service.  Constituents would be encouraged to volunteer to support a 
charitable organization in their area, while emphasizing their association to 
Juniata.  Regional Clubs would be encouraged to participate.  These 
endeavors would be promoted and publicized through online 
communication tools (for example, Facebook) and the Juniata Magazine. 
(Q10, Q11, Q32, Q33, Q34)                          
 
Volunteer Acknowledgement Campaign.  Recognition and gratitude for 
volunteer efforts will be consciously pursued through personal calls and 
letters of thanks, media coverage some of Juniata’s greatest volunteer 
successes, and profiles of key volunteers on the Juniata website and the 
magazine. (Page 2, Executive Summary)
