Incorporating Alumni within FRC Teams

I know there are a lot of threads regarding alumni mentoring/not mentoring, but I am wondering how your team incorporates their alumni into the team.
One of the focuses lately has been reaching out to alumni, specifically college alumni, to get involved again. While volunteering is fun, I am curious of ways to incorporate alumni into their team specifically. In my experience, I've learned a lot about trying to be a mentor while just being out of a team myself. But with college classes, work, and less industry experience, I couldn't dedicate enough time or experience to be a full adult mentor. From conversations with other alumni, I know my team isn't the only one struggling to figure out what to do with their alumni.

So, what does your team do to keep alumni involved?
