Over the past year CASE has conducted research about ways institution leaders and boards were responding to the challenges posed by the pandemic and examining patterns of resilience during the current crisis, as well as in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008.

In 2024, 394 institutions from 19 countries, grouped into seven regions, participated in the CASE Insights on Alumni Engagement survey.
