At my school, students must first graduate from our program -- and then sit for a state board examination before they are allowed to be placed in a job. So many of them procrastinate in taking the exam -- rendering the placement department ineffective. Any suggestions?

I have just taken over the student services position at my school (I had previously been in Financial Aid). One thing we have trouble with is staying in touch with grads. I would like to begin building an Alumni Community for our grads. We already have a facebook page, but it gets VERY LITTLE traffic. Any other suggestions to jumpstart a program for Alumni?
