Dean's Homework: Reconnecting with FIRST Alumini

[neoshaakti]

I think the best way to embark on Dean's homework is through Facebook. Once you identify old members, look 'em up on facebook and create a group for your team.

not bad, but that might not work if your ex members have names like John Smith, cus there will be a lot of em and finding out which one is the one you need can take a very, very long time.

Through Facebook I have stayed in contact with many of my team Alums and other friends from FIRST that have looong graduated from college now.
Search for FIRST on facebook and you will find many team groups.
By staying in contact with the Alum you can show your newer members, and more importantly their parents, where they are now in life and try to connect how FIRST got them their.


Check out the MOE Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2228311810&ref=ts) page

And the un-OFFICAL FIRST robotics Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204788963)

And start searching.. :)

Created a First Robotics Alumni group on LinkedIn. Let's see how many alumni we can harvest from that source. Here is the link: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=1659117&trk=anet_ug_hm&goback=%2Eanh_1659117

Is there a link to Dean's homework assignment somewhere?

We've been making a database of former team members the past couple of years. Finding 18 years worth of people is going to be real tough.
