WHO I AM
I'm Ulysesses Wilcox, MS—founder of Wilcox Alumni Strategies and a proven expert in building thriving alumni communities that drive institutional success.
After 16+ formative years with Walden University and Adtalem Global Education, I've dedicated my career to one mission: transforming how higher education institutions engage with their alumni. In 2017, I architected and launched the Walden Ambassador Network from the ground up—a program that grew to serve over 200,000 alumni and became a model for strategic, people-centered engagement.
What colleagues say about my work:
"His superpower is taking 'fans' and turning them into muscular brand evangelists." — Leslie Kovalic, Senior Manager Digital Marketing, Adtalem
"Ulysesses served as the glue for our team, bringing both strategic insight and hands-on execution to every initiative." — Gustavo Galue, Sr. Manager Alumni Engagement
My approach is simple: I combine proven frameworks with authentic relationship building. I don't just deliver reports and recommendations—I roll up my sleeves and work alongside your team to ensure real, sustainable results.
Whether you're launching a volunteer ambassador program from scratch, revitalizing an existing initiative, or transforming your entire engagement strategy, I bring the expertise, tools, and partnership you need to succeed.
Get in touch today to discuss how I can help your institution turn alumni supporters into passionate brand evangelists. I'm ready to learn about your unique challenges and explore how we can work together to build the engaged community your institution deserves.
