Education pioneers alumni services program helps advance our alumni as leaders in the field of education. Alumni engagement is an investment in the potential of the education pioneers network. Our 4,300+ fellowship alumni who continue to work in service of students, schools, and their respective communities are education pioneers' biggest driver of long-term impact. Strengthening and supporting our alumni network is the mechanism by which we amplify, accelerate, and expand our collective impact. Going forward, education pioneers' strategy related to alumni services includes learning how to better engage and activate this network to enable stronger connection, collaboration, and problem-solving across the sector. A strong network serves as a more valuable resource for our alumni, and enables pursuit of network impact that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
