Welcoming Florida State Seminoles to the Alumni Spaces Family

We’re excited to announce a new partnership with the Florida State Alumni Association!

“The Florida State University Alumni Association proudly serves the fastest rising public university in the country, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. With over 340,000 alumni worldwide, we know that the lifeblood of our university are our people.

Our mission is to advance our university’s greatness while enriching the lives of the Seminole Family. Whether that be serving our current students and parents, alumni, donors or just friends of the Garnet & Gold, we seek to provide the best at every connection point possible.

It is in that light that we have chosen to partner with Alumni Spaces to offer new, easy to use and exciting means of connecting our Seminole Clubs & Chapters as we continue to rise to the top in the classroom, on the athletic fields and in communities across the country.

The FSUAA is excited to head into the future with Alumni Spaces as our partner!”

Keith Cottrell — Director of Seminole Clubs

Long-Term Relationship

We’ve been working with individual FSU clubs on their websites for over four years and are excited that our relationships with alumni volunteers has turned into a long-term relationship with the FSU alumni association. We’ve always believed in the power of groups and know the FSU alumni volunteers were instrumental in advocating for us to expand to all Seminole groups. We’re excited to partner with the Florida State Alumni Association and the entire FSU alumni community. Go Seminoles!

Real-Time Reports and Time To Focus On What Matters

Clubs gain a stronger digital presence and better ways to communicate with their communities while we give alumni associations a deeper understanding through activity reports and group automated recognition programs. Alumni association staff is able to focus their time on supporting their alumni groups instead of trying to take information from an email and put it in excel to turn into a pivot table and then copy into PowerPoint to have an understanding of their alumni base. We give staff the ability to have real-time reports and analytics so they can immediately identify a group that’s slipping or when a group is exploding with activity and needs some additional support.

The Bigger Picture

Alumni Spaces is a technology startup based in Brooklyn, NY and Springfield, MO. We started it by combining our backgrounds in software development, fundraising and alumni relations to come up with a better way to engage, communicate and empower alumni networks all over the world. (Trivia fact: Rachel, Andrew and I met at Mizzou when we served in student government and have been working together ever since!) We believe college should be affordable and accessible for everyone and are doing our part to make that belief a reality. Groups from more than 30 universities are on our platform including Clemson University, University of Missouri, University of North Carolina and University of Oklahoma.
