The Bellagio Center Residency Alumni Engagement Toolkit

Welcome to our digital toolkit for The Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center Residency Alumni Network.  

We are thrilled to invite you to connect with other former residents and the Foundation through this network. Expansive dialogue is a hallmark of the Bellagio residency experience, and we hope you will continue conversations begun at the Center! We encourage you to engage across the network digitally and to share that you are a member of this distinguished group of leaders, scholars, scientists, artists, policymakers, and more. 

There are several ways you can stay connected with the Bellagio Center Residency Alumni and with the Foundation, including: 

  1. Joining the Bellagio Center Alumni Community on LinkedIn, to stay up to date on news from RF and fellow network members.
  2. Updating your online bios to include your participation the program, to more easily find and connect with fellow alumni. 
  3. Posting about your experience and completed Bellagio project on social media with the #RFBellagio tag, to invite RF and fellow network members to join in celebrating your work. (Sample posts provided below.)
  4. Updating us at BellagioNetwork@rockfound.org with any Bellagio-related project updates, for the opportunity to have your work amplified via RF channels.

Below, you will see sample language for online bio updates and social media posts that you can customize to better reflect your experience.
