Speaking as an alum... make sure you introduce yourself to the alumni at events. Say hello. Make them feel welcome. The alumni have made arrangements to come to an event that isn't front and center in their lives anymore. Appreciate them with a simple thank you.
One of the more heartbreaking things that I never understood as an undergrad (and now DO as an alum) is how lonely alums feel at rituals and other events. Older alumni don't know people-- please help them!
