The New Accountability Challenge: Defending Program Value Through the Lens of Alumni Career Success.

You've built programs, stood up workforce partnerships, and made the case that your institution prepares students for what's next. But when a legislator, board member, or prospective student asks about your graduates’ long-term career outcomes — are you able to answer? 

The ROI pressure is real. Students want proof. Accreditors want evidence. And the data you have on hand rarely tells the full story: initial placements, maybe, but not career progression or subsequent education attainment. 

That's the conversation this session is built for. A closed room for people being asked to demonstrate the value of their programs through the lens of alumni employment and long-term success. The agenda is shaped by the problems you name at registration. The group decides where to focus.

  • Do you track career progression 5 or 10 years out, or only at initial placement?

  • How are you using alumni outcomes data in program review, portfolio strategy, or board conversations?

  • Where are the biggest blind spots in your visibility into graduate success?

  • As ROI scrutiny increases, are you prepared to defend every program with credible evidence?

Let's have an honest conversation about alumni career outcomes — the challenges and opportunities.


Lightcast's higher ed expert, Anna Brown, is facilitating an exclusive session built for you, shaped by the problems practitioners submit at registration. The conversation follows the group's priorities.

  • Thursday June 25, 2026

  • 1 pm ET / 10 am PT — for 60 minutes

Meet your facilitator

An economist by training, Anna has spent most of her career helping colleges and universities use data to measure impact and make strategic decisions. She enjoys helping practitioners uncover the insights that matter most: which programs produce durable outcomes, which ones don't, and what alumni career progression reveals about the true value of an educational experience. In this session, she’ll prompt and guide the group to help make the most of our time together.
