ALUMNI

ENROLLMENT

Fisk’s more than 10,000 living alumni (Fiskites) provide a deeply committed support base for a variety of university functions in addition to annual fund raising Alumni giving percentages have drastically increased over the past 6 years from 21% to 35% but remains slightly below 15% of total fundraising. On several occasions, Fisk has won the Home Depot challenge, which is ultimately based on alumni votes and thus a testament to the commitment of Fiskites. The alumni are also passionately involved in Fisk’s recruitment strategy with active clubs all over the country. There has always been a strong tradition around reunion but in recent years Fisk has also developed quite a homecoming reputation Many Fisk alumni serve as mentors and are intensely involved in the University’s extracurricular programs
