BU Alumni Directory Set for 2007
Publication Will Help Alumni Stay in Touch
Want to get back in touch with friends from your college days or network for business? The new Alumni Directory, coming in 2007, will make both easier. But first, alumni are asked to complete the Alumni Directory Questionnaire, which was mailed in late November. Your answers will not only help us produce the most up-to-date directory, but also help guide the direction of the University and create programs that better suit alumni needs.
It is important that the biographical listings are accurate, and updating information should take only a few minutes. The questionnaire also asks about alumni interests and ways of connecting with Boston University.
“We are very excited about this directory project and the opportunity that it presents us,” says Meg Umlas, executive director of Alumni Relations. “Not only will the directory be a wonderful reference for our alumni, but we will learn what matters most to this key constituent group. The responses to the questions will help guide our programming in the future and determine some important University-wide initiatives. Alumni will have the opportunity to return the questionnaire by U.S. mail or complete it online. We look forward to sharing the results in the coming months and want to thank our alumni in advance for taking a few moments to share their thoughts with us.”
The directory will list alumni by school/college, class year, and geographic location, and will include current names and names at graduation. The goal is to make this all-new alumni publication the most comprehensive such reference available.
The Alumni Directory is being produced by Harris Connect, Inc., one of the major publishers of alumni directories.
