Best College Values names The 50 Most Powerful Alumni Networks

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Best College Values has released a list of the 50 Most Powerful Alumni Networks. A raw score was generated and assigned to alumni networks to establish the ranking.  Factors that weighed into the score included, alumni giving, employment rate three months following graduation, the proportion of employment arranged through career services, and student ratings of the usefulness of the alumni network. Other scores for reputation (high school counselor ratings of universities), the size of LinkedIn alumni base, and proportion of that base employed in senior positions were also considered.
