Our Clients

Testimonials

“There were several benefits realized: the first and most important benefit is that it gave our alumni an opportunity to respond to a University request for feedback on how we can improve the educational journey at Mercer thereby emphasizing to alumni that we care about their feedback. This strengthened alumni support of the University and showed that we really care about how they felt about their Mercer experience. While we have always said we appreciate alumni input, this demonstrated that we really do care about their input. It reinforces that there is power in partnership. It provided valuable information on a variety of topics to a wide range of alumni in an affordable and efficient process- something that would be very difficult for us to do.”
- Raleigh Mann, Senior Associate VP for Alumni Services - Mercer University
“The Alumni Attitude Study provided our institution with useful data that helped restructure our membership and alumni programs as well as allowed us to create and implement a strategic plan to fulfill our alumni’s needs.”

- Richard Engel, Asst. Vice Chancellor for Alumni Relations - UC Davis

“The Alumni Attitude Study was money well spent by our Alumni Association.  It gave us great benchmarks, and more importantly, a plan of action for meeting the needs of our alumni.”
Debbie Garrick, Executive Director of Alumni Relations - Winthrop University
“The Study provided us with a baseline of data to compare and chart over time.  This is essential to the strategic planning phase and the results helped us develop plans that would engage our alumni and confirm the benefits of our “next step” initiatives.”
- Keith Sticktenoth, Associate Executive Director, Communications & Marketing - University of Cincinnati
“The information provided by the AAS research was very helpful to us in updating our strategic plan and developing efforts to enhance our alumni engagement.”
- Nicki Meneley, Associate Executive Director - Purdue University

“This is the perfect time for us to have done this research.  With budget cuts looming, we can use our alumni input to eliminate programs that are less productive or of less interest to our alumni.  More importantly, we can focus our efforts directly on the things that have the most opportunity to engage our alumni during these critical times.”

“Over the years we have done some things to better understand what our alumni want but never with the level of sophistication and skill as this process.  I wish we had done this work 10 years ago. “  

- Kate Shaheed, Director of Alumni Relations – CSU East Bay

“The Alumni Attitude Study that PEG, Ltd. produced for East Carolina Alumni Association allowed us to focus our time, energy and resources on those programs that could make a real difference for our alumni.”

“In my former life as a corporate executive, I heard dozens and dozens of these kinds of attitude surveys. Too often, we got raw data – no helpful analysis on what we ought to learn from the data. You presented 'actionable research.' We’ll make good use of it.”
- Chip Visci, Associate Vice President, Strategic Communications - California Polytechnic State University
“The Alumni Attitude Survey results have helped provide a baseline analysis for Oregon State University and the alumni association.  OSU’s survey results also helped inform the refresh of our strategic plan and guide many of our initiatives and much of our focus. ”
- Jeff Todd, Executive Director - Oregon State Alumni Association
“The Alumni Attitude Study is a vital part of implementing our strategic plan which is transforming our alumni program into a new business model.  The findings have provided us the information we need to effectively and efficiently engage our alumni (and future alumni) through geographic and era segmentation.” 
- Anthony McAdoo, Senior Director - Arkansas Alumni Association
“The Alumni Attitude survey has been an invaluable tool in helping us get to the heart of what our alumni are thinking and where they are coming from.   The information we learned from the survey has been instrumental in shaping the strategic direction of our programming and has provided us with a better understanding on how to more effectively communicate with our constituents.”
