ENG Alumni E-Newsletter

January 2004


Announcing the new, improved, easy-to-use Alumni Link!

We recently simplified and improved the Boston University Alumni Link services and invite you to register and explore the new Website at http://alumni.bu.edu. Among the features now available is an expanded Career area with the opportunity for you to post and search job listings, publish your resume, and seek out career advice through the advisory network.

In a 2003 survey, alumni told us that the Online Directory didn't list enough of their classmates. So, beginning on February 9, 2004 , we will include all alumni in the directory who have not specifically told us they wish to be excluded. We respect your privacy and are announcing this change ahead of time so you can set your privacy preferences the way you want them. You will always have the choice to opt-out of the directory. After you've registered, log in to http://alumni.bu.edu and click on "My Profile" if you want to view or change your privacy settings before February 9.

We will be announcing additional online services in the near future. Look for announcements via e-mail, in Bostonia , in other alumni publications, and online at the Alumni Link.

If you need assistance registering for the Alumni Link, please contact the Help Desk at help@alum.bu.edu or 617-353-6144. Our office is open Monday - Friday from 9am to 5pm ET .

Walt Disney Pictures Presents Miracle

A motion picture about the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. hockey team.

Join fellow alumni, parents, and friends in Boston as they enjoy a private screening of the new movie Miracle, the story of how the U.S. men's hockey team-including captain Mike Eruzione (SED'77), Jim Craig (SED'79), Jack O'Callahan (CAS'79), and Dave Silk (CAS'80, MET'92, GSM'94)-defeated the heavily favored Soviet squad during the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Experience again that thrilling moment when Eruzione scored the game-winning goal-an upset that was dubbed "Miracle on Ice." You'll have the opportunity to meet Mike Eruzione, at a pre-screening reception. Don't miss this chance to see what Sports Illustrated magazine in 2000 called the "Greatest Sports Moment of the Century."
