One of the best ways to increase alumni retention during the crazy college years is through event volunteering. Maybe you can get a group of volunteers to help at Smokey Mountain and maybe another not to far off regional in another state. Eventually it would be cool to set the goal of hosting event after volunteering a bit. With a motivated and organized volunteer crew you can really help any event get off the ground with a few people with training on different Key Volunteer positions.

Event volunteering is a great lower touch commitment when there are other priorities in life.
