Maryville College has launched a public-facing alumni business directory to promote Scot-to-Scot support after graduation. The free listing service offers alumni-owned businesses the opportunity to connect and display branding at their workplaces.
“We’ve been working to make sure alumni are connected with students, connected with the Career Center to offer mentorship, internships, job opportunities and all of those different ways they can connect,” said Maryville College Director of Alumni Affairs Jennifer Triplett.
For local operators, it provides brand signaling to a concentrated base of 3,000 local alumni. Triplett said they want the directory to foster loyalty among alumni and give new graduates a place to look for potential employment connections.
She said the directory, launched in recent weeks, has 18 listings so far. Participation requires an application and a light review process. Personal data remains private, and members receive a window decal for their businesses. The school will continue social media features and event promotion to grow the directory.
The directory is available on the Maryville College Alumni Association website at maryville.link/alumnibusinessdirectory.
