My Profile and Contact Information

• I'm concerned about having my personal information available on the site.
  The privacy of your personal information is our top priority. Areas of the website containing private information are located on a separate, secure server utilizing secure sockets layer (SSL) protection. Also, any areas of the website containing private information can be accessed only by members of Alumni Online via a password protected login. Only you can access and update your personal information. By unchecking the viewable check box in the 'Update Your Profile' section, you can limit what information appears to other alumni in the online directory.
• When will updates to my personal information take effect?
  With a few exceptions, all changes made to your personal information and to your viewable settings take effect immediately.
• Are these changes reflected in Alumni Records?
  Changes to your personal data that you submit are reviewed and added to your alumni record. Changes to your viewable settings are for the Online Directory only.
• What if I do not want my information to display?
  You should uncheck the viewable check box adjacent to any data you wish to prevent other alumni from viewing. Please note that these changes will only block information from being displayed and will not permanently delete this information from Alumni Records.
• Who can see my email address?
  By default, your email address is hidden in Alumni Online. To enable other alumni to view your email address, you can set the email address field to “viewable”. Other alumni can send you email even if your email address is hidden.

Using Alumni Online

• How can I send an email to someone in the directory? 
  Email addresses are defaulted to “hidden” in the directory.  Each person has the ability to unhide his/her own email address.  However, you can still send an email to someone whose address is hidden. Go to the person’s profile, then click on “Email this person.”  Fill in your message and then click "Submit."
