Your alumni are achieving everywhere. Your campaigns can't keep up.

Every day, your alumni are having incredible career and life-changing experiences. But without a scalable way to capture these stories, you're left with:

Empty magazines and boring campaigns
Quiet social channels
Presidents asking "where's the proof of our impact?"

Moving forward, all you'll need to do to answer that question is share an interview link.

A year of graduates

Every figure is a graduate with a story worth telling.

Every request, answered from one library

Marketing, comms, and your executives all come to you for stories, and they're never asking for a story in general. They want a specific program, a specific state, a specific kind of graduate. One searchable library answers all of it.

Marketing

Stories for the next campaign, and graduates worth inviting to a commercial shoot. Search by program, region, or outcome instead of asking who someone happens to remember.

Comms and government relations

A PR piece on deadline, or a graduate in one particular legislator's state. The search takes seconds, and the transcript and the video are already attached.

Executives on the road

A provost lands in a rural county tomorrow and wants success stories from that exact region. You answer from the library instead of putting your team on a fire drill.

Foundation and president's office

Workforce outcomes in your graduates' own words, ready for a state legislature or a board packet. Plus a first-generation story library the foundation can draw on all year.

EVERY INTERVIEW CONTAINS

  • Multiple pull quotes, sourced
  • A case study written from the interview
  • The full transcript
  • The full recording, plus clips

Nobody on your team has to write, edit, or file anything first.

Robert Sullivan speaking at a podium "Every story has multiple quotes pulled out, has a case study written, has a full transcript, has a full video. It's all there, and it happens almost immediately after an interview's done. It was a no-brainer to say that is the solution that we need to have a content library that the whole university can use."

Western Governors University LIVE TODAY

Already running at one of America's largest universities

We know the math your team is up against: one storyteller, thousands of alumni, and a calendar that can't hold a fraction of the interviews the stories deserve. That's the exact problem Proofolio was built to remove.

Western Governors University collects alumni stories through Proofolio today. The guided interview on WGU's own alumni page is ours, an institution with hundreds of thousands of graduates invites them to share their story through it, on their own domain, in front of their own community. You can go check; it's live.

Robert Sullivan speaking at a podium "It's only been about three months that we're actually all in collecting them, and we have over 100 stories that we're able to share throughout the university." ROBERT SULLIVAN · SR. DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT, WGU FROM THE RECORDED INTERVIEW →

Three steps to stories in your graduates' own voices

01

Sign up

Create your account and watch a guided interview run, your team sees the finished story it produces before you invite a single alumnus.

02

Share one link.

Invite your alumni by putting the interview link on your website, emailing it to a list, or including it in your automated systems.

03

Publish stories.

Stories arrive as editable drafts with the recording and transcript attached. Your team approves, publishes, and hands leadership the quotes that carry campaigns. Consent is a gate, not a checkbox, nothing about a graduate goes public until your team has cleared it.

Your team approves every word before anything is published · consent is captured inside every interview

Your alumni library, inside Claude and ChatGPT

Proofolio connects to Claude and ChatGPT, so your team can ask the alumni library questions in plain language: which graduates changed careers, who mentioned a scholarship, find three nursing stories for the spring appeal. Every answer points back to the interview it came from, so your writers aren't taking anything on trust.

Why graduate voices are the content nobody can copy and AI can't generate by itself

AI made polished institutional copy free, which means "transforming lives through education" now persuades no one, because every institution publishes it. What a prospective student, a donor, or a board still believes is a graduate, on the record, in their own words: where they started, what almost stopped them, what the degree changed. That story can't be generated, and it can't be borrowed by a competing institution, because it only happened at yours.

Proofolio's guided interview walks each alumnus through that story the way a good features writer would: the before, the turning point, the after, and preserves it with the recording, the transcript, and the graduate's consent attached.

One interview becomes a magazine feature, a campaign post, a donor quote, and a recruitment story without a single meeting on anyone's calendar.

Start at $5,400 a year.

Who it fits

  • Public and private four-year universities
  • Community and technical colleges
  • Online and competency-based institutions
  • Foundations, advancement, and alumni relations offices

What purchasing will ask for

The entry plan, prepaid for a year, is $5,400. That's small enough at a lot of institutions to buy without a competitive solicitation, though you'll want to check your own threshold.

HECVAT, a VPAT and accessibility statement, and terms written for university purchasing: we send the whole packet after the demo, so you're not reading paperwork before you've seen the product.

Robert Sullivan speaking at a podium"It didn't stop me because Proofolio works out of the box. The content library exists immediately after the interview, and all I have to do is share the link."ROBERT SULLIVAN · SR. DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT, WGUFROM THE RECORDED INTERVIEW →

More of your alumni get heard, not fewer.

Alumni and advancement work is as old as higher education, and the fear about tools like this is that they put something mechanical between an institution and its people. Proofolio records the graduate in their own voice, with the recording attached. Your team still decides what's worth telling.

Robert Sullivan speaking at a podium"We feel deeply that relationship part of it, and we think technology will get in the way. But it won't. Technology does not get in the way. Technology can help us solve our problems, and Proofolio is proof of that."ROBERT SULLIVAN · SR. DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT, WGUFROM THE RECORDED INTERVIEW →

Imagine your next campaign told in your graduates' own voices

And when leadership asks where the proof of impact is, you answer with a link. Two paths from here: another season of stock photos and borrowed language, or a growing library of real graduate stories your whole institution publishes from.
