Holding game watches around your school's sports team can be a great way to meet alumni in informal, fun settings. It's usually not too difficult to get a good following at your game watches if your school is nationally known for one its teams. However if you're a small school or in the same state as your school, you can face some challenges in growing your attendance. Let's take a look at some ways that you can get a strong showing at your club's game watches.
Selecting Your Alumni Chapter Game Watch Venue
College football season is nearly upon and many alumni clubs around the country are preparing for their college team's game watches. If your club likes to get together for games, you may already have game watch location picked and ready to go. But if you are still looking for that perfect spot, you may already know that it can be challenging to find one. Never fear! I've recently talked with a group of fellow alumni club leaders and they passed along some great tips I'd like to share with you.
Handling Your Chapter’s Media Inquiries

It's not as easy as just sharing your thoughts because they might be in conflict with your university's position. So how do you handle this? Here are my thoughts based on what happened to our club.
