Komunikasi antara alumni dan publik, seperti siswa, mahasiswa, serta masyarakat umum, memegang peran penting dalam ekosistem perguruan tinggi dan pengembangan karir. Hubungan ini tidak hanya mendukung pertukaran pengetahuan dan pengalaman, tetapi juga membuka peluang jaringan profesional, dan kesempatan kerja. Alumni berperan sebagai sumber inspirasi dan motivasi bagi generasi muda, serta berkontribusi dalam memperkuat reputasi institusi pendidikan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu menciptakan sebuah media dimana alumni dapat membagikan latar belakang, prestasi, pengalaman kerja, dan lowongan kerja. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan Waterfall dan User Centered Design (UCD), memastikan kebutuhan dan pengalaman pengguna menjadi fokus utama dalam desain dan pengembangan. Pengujian kelayakan dilakukan dengan Black Box Testing dan System Usability Scale (SUS) untuk memastikan fungsionalitas memenuhi standar dan usabilitas yang memadai. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Sistem Informasi Alumni berhasil dibangun sesuai rancangan dalam solusi agar alumni dapat mengekspresikan diri melalui latar belakang, prestasi, pengalaman kerja yang dibagikan, sehingga membuka pandangan baru kepada masyarakat dan juga berkesempatan mendapatkan kolaborasi dengan pihak universitas. Pengujian usabilitas dengan SUS memberikan skor rata-rata 86,62, menunjukkan secara keseluruhan mendapat respons positif dan dianggap memuaskan oleh pengguna. Dengan demikian, Sistem Informasi Alumni berhasil menjadi jembatan komunikasi antara alumni, ranah publik, dan pihak kampus, dengan harapan silaturahmi tetap terjaga dan menciptakan kolaborasi berkelanjutan.

Communication between alumni and the public, such as students, faculty, and the general public, plays an important role in the higher education ecosystem and career development. This relationship not only supports the exchange of knowledge and experience, but also opens up professional networking opportunities, and job opportunities. Alumni serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for the younger generation, and contribute to strengthening the reputation of educational institutions. The purpose of this research is to create a media where alumni can share their background, achievements, work experience, and job vacancies. This research uses the Waterfall development model and User Centered Design (UCD), ensuring user needs and experience are the main focus in design and development. Feasibility testing is done with Black Box Testing and System Usability Scale (SUS) to ensure functionality meets standards and adequate usability. The results showed that the Alumni Information System was successfully built according to design in a solution so that alumni can express themselves through shared backgrounds, achievements, work experience, thus opening new views to the community and also having the opportunity to get collaboration with the university. Usability testing with SUS gives an average score of 86.62, indicating an overall positive response and is considered satisfactory by users. Thus, the Alumni Information System has succeeded in becoming a bridge of communication between alumni, the public domain, and the campus, with the hope of maintaining friendship and creating sustainable collaboration.
