Index Synthesis Synthesis (with citations) Applying the Five Moves Methodology Bibliography

What Alumni Relations Can Do to Build Affinity AND Identity

Research synthesis · ten cousin-discipline corpora · 2026-05-05 · revised 2026-05-15

Five deliverables matching the original brief plus a practitioner-side companion:

  1. A one-page synthesis with strong recommendations — five essential moves alumni relations can make, written as clean prose with the findings only.
  2. The same synthesis, with numbered citations — identical findings, with bracketed source numbers pointing at the bibliography for any reader who wants to trace each finding to its source.
  3. Applying the Five Moves — a plain-language companion expanding each of the five moves into what the Alumni Relations Team could consider doing in practice.
  4. A paragraph on process and methodology — how the corpus was assembled and how each source was verified, with authorship and AI-assistance disclosure.
  5. A numbered bibliography — the load-bearing sources, with per-entry verification labels.
