1.1 Introduction
Alumni database management system is a way of bringing many methods of reporting and control into one working environment. The Alumni association is independent of the school in funding and administrative support. The Association administration is run through the efforts of volunteers and part-time hires. The inability of the association to become a viable entity can be attributed to a few major factors. First, the fluctuations in the work force effort and the lack of consistent commitment to the association have caused inefficient and misguided efforts. The second major factor affecting the viability of the Alumni Association is the lack of an accurate and homogeneous database of the school's alumni. Alumni records over the history of the school have been maintained in a variety of non-automated methods.
