As part of
its ongoing efforts to provide alumni with essential online services, Union has re-launched an expanded online
alumni community. The new community (available at http://www.union.edu/Alumni) provides a more
useful and secure online alumni directory, free lifetime email accounts, online
class notes, and a number of other services.
More than
5,000 alumni have already signed up for the new community, and feedback has
been positive, according to Nick Famulare, director of alumni relations.
“Online
services are the next step in the ongoing evolution of alumni relations at Union. As more alumni get online, the web
is becoming a great way for alumni to keep in touch with each other and with Union,” said Famulare.
To become a
member of the online community, alumni can simply request an account online.
Some areas of the community, such as the alumni directory, are
password-protected for security purposes. Alumni can also control how much of
their contact information is displayed through the directory.
