An alumnus (pl. alumni) is “a graduate of a school, college, or university.” An alumnus can also be a former member, employee, contributor or inmate as well as a former student.
Social media provide effective ways and opportunities for alumni networks to strengthen the bonds between the alumni; and between the alumni and former institution, sporting club, college, university, and soforth.
We have collected some good articles on how to use social media and some of the main networks to engage alumni. They can provide inspiration for your own alumni network!

Good compilation. The list of alumni organizations on Twitter that you have here, is more than 2 years old. I maintain an up to date list as a Twitter list here:
http://twitter.com/#!/alumnifutures/alumni-orgs
It has more than 230 alumni organizations listed.
Thanks!
