After a careful consideration of all options, Dean Hicky V.P. of Alumni Relations, selected Golden Parachute to build and launch its new Online Community. "We were looking for a solution that was easy to manage and engaging for our discerning Alumni. Golden Parachute's Online Alumni Community seemed to have it all." GP was able to build for Becker College a directory that actually reflects each constituents unique and sometimes multi-faceted relationship to the college. This is important because our Trustees that are also Alumni enjoy the distinction in the search and result areas of the directory.
