What Kannect commits to higher ed
1
Account for life. Student today, alumnus tomorrow. One record across both.
0%
Kannect fee on giving. Annual fund, reunion gifts, scholarship drives — 100% to the cause.
100%
Reach. Every alumnus, every student, every chapter — opted in, all delivered.
1
Home for clubs, departments, alumni. Hundreds of groups, one operating system.
One platform instead of nine
Most campuses run their community on a CRM the alumni office bought, an event tool for the development office, Mailchimp for the dean's digest, a Facebook page for athletics, Slack for student org chats, and a long tail of departmental tools. Kannect retires it.
The alumni network
Independent, verified, free of algorithms and ads.
Campus & alumni events
Reunions, donor weekends, lectures — 2%, not 10–14%.
Department & dean comms
100% reach to opted-in students and alumni.
Student org communities
Built for clubs, not engineering teams. No app sprawl.
Campus engagement is scattered, and it fades after orientation
Clubs run on group chats, the alumni office runs on email, departments run on their own pages. Students and alumni drift through the gaps between them.
Posts lost in the noise
Campus updates compete with everything else on social media. Most students never see them.
Clubs each on their own tool
Every student org picks its own app. Nothing connects, and no one has the full picture.
Alumni go quiet
After graduation the connection fades. Email is the only thread left, and it is easy to ignore.
Everything a campus community needs
One platform for student organizations, departments, and alumni networks alike.
Groups for clubs and chapters
Give every student org, department, and alumni chapter its own space, all under one platform.
Campus events
Orientation, club fairs, games, and reunions with RSVPs, tickets, and automatic reminders.
Communication without the algorithm
Reach students and alumni by announcement and message. Delivered, not buried in a feed.
Alumni and student discovery
A public page where students and alumni can find and join the communities that fit them.
Resources and updates
Share handbooks, schedules, and campus news in one place every member can reach.
Engagement insight
See which communities are active and where engagement is starting to slip.
Three steps to a connected campus
Set up your community
Start a 14-day free trial and stand up your campus hub in under five minutes.
Bring in students and alumni
Invite members, or let them find and join your communities on Kannect Discover.
Keep them engaged
Run events, send updates, and coordinate clubs. Members get every update in the Community Hub app.
Independent. Verified. Built for you.
Two things make Kannect different from the tools campuses usually settle for.
Independent and founder-run
Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent and answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer.
Verified and spam-free
Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial that stops bots and fake accounts. Your campus communities stay real, trusted, and spam-free.
Engagement that lasts beyond graduation
Of members reached
Every announcement reaches every student and alum who opted in. No algorithm in between.
To launch
Most campus communities set up and go live in under five minutes.
Around your campus
No advertising near your students and alumni. Your campus community is never monetized.
Campus questions, answered
Can each club or department have its own space?
Yes. Every student organization, department, and alumni chapter can have its own group, with its own members and communication.
Do students need to download an app?
No. Members can take part on the web, and they can also use the Kannect Community Hub app for events, updates, and messages.
Can alumni stay connected after graduation?
Yes. Alumni keep their place in your communities, and can discover and join alumni groups through Kannect.
How much does Kannect cost?
Plans start at $15/mo billed yearly, or $19/mo month to month. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and a credit card is required to start it, which keeps Kannect verified and spam-free.
