A simple start for anyone wanting to get in touch with their alumni is to start an email listserv. You can use one of those free ones, like onelist.com or listbot.com (I prefer listbot) and just start getting emails of everyone and add them to the group. Eventually the list will grow as well as communication with inactive members. This will help organize events and get people involved since you can get a much quicker response as well as discuss ideas with a large group. As for getting people involved with more events, you'll have to think up some new innovative ideas that will spark an interest to them. Perhaps look into the kind of things they enjoyed back in college (if this is an older crowd you're dealing with) and try to re-create them in some way. I don't know, just a quick idea I thought of, just be creative and you'll do fine. Alumni always appreciate effort, no matter how small it is.
