Campus Contact Guides Most of our participating campuses have alumni or undergrads who work with the ALA each year as a primary contact. These contacts promote the program, are a resource for information and help each campus group register, make flight arrangements and prepare for the experience.

Do It Yourself (DIY) Campus ProgramWant to design an ALA-style program for your own chapter/campus? Inviting area alumni to speak and share their life-lessons is a great way to reach out to them and get them reconnected to your group or campus. ALA has put together a “Do It Yourself” kit so you can create your own program. We’re still working on the appendix, but you can help create it – just send us copies of what you come up with!
