Greetings Alumni! 2009 is well underway as summer draws near once again, and with it comes more class reunions! Visit your class homepage and reunion page to check if your class has an event in the pipeline. Remember, it is up to each class to plan their own reunion, so get talking and make sure your class doesn't miss out on a memorable reunion this summer. If you're planning a reunion, remember that you can use the alumni website to get it done more efficiently, with various tools such as online RSVPs and mass class e-mailing.
We've had a lot of requests from alumni to get our website members to share more photos on the site. If you have a moment, please login and upload photos to your profile. In addition you can add photos to our class reunion albums, or the yearbook section.
Read on for more details on various new features which you will find on the site, such as the 'Further Education' pages.
