Get Connected, Keep Your Privacy

The Private Message system allows registered alumni to communicate with other registered alumni without using or revealing their email addresses. The entire transaction takes place within in the confines of the site.

Message Center

• Once a registered alumni signs in, there is a link near the top right corner of the screen (in the green colored band) called Private Messages.
• Click on Private Messages to go to your Message center.
• There, you can check your inbox, compose messages, and manage your contacts.
• You get Contacts by either sending or receiving private messages to other alumni.

Contacting Other Alumni

• Each school’s Home Page has a link on the right side of the page stating the number of registered alumni for that school.
• Click on the link, and you will see:
• The names of the registered alumni for your school.
• Their last name while in school.
• Whether they were a student or faculty member at that school
• A “send a message” link.
• Click on “send a message”, and a Private Message form appears.
• Similar to an email form, the Private Message form has a box for the subject line and a box for the message.
• Write your message and click the Send Private Message button at the bottom of the page.
• Your message will be delivered to the recipient the next time they sign in.
• You can delete messages you’ve sent, if the recipient has not opened it, from your Message Center.
