Alumni Management and Networking System

The Alumni Management and Networking System aims to address the challenges of alumni disconnection and facilitate effective communication and engagement between educational institutions and their alumni. The system provides a platform for institutes to create profiles, connect with fellow alumni and offers opportunities for alumni to contribute to the institution's success through mentorship, volunteering, and other forms of support. This paper reviews existing research on alumni management systems, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and gaps. It evaluates different approaches such as centralized systems, data collection methods, interactive questionnaires, secure messaging, and tag recommendation systems. The proposed Alumni Network Management System incorporates content-based tagging, utilizing a fine-tuned BERT model trained on a dataset of 10,000 Twitter posts. This approach generates relevant tags for new social media posts, enhancing content visibility and discoverability. Additionally, it employs end-to-end encryption for secure messaging, ensuring privacy and confidentiality. The system's implementation has been tested successfully, showcasing its user-friendliness and effectiveness in managing alumni databases. The results indicate that the system provides a convenient platform for alumni to update their information, stay connected, and engage with their alma mater.
