For your information: a new frontier

Alumni and friends of Emporia State University are already connected by the common thread of our love for the good ol’ black and gold, but a more tangible link is on its way.
An online service is under construction, set to launch in fall 2007. We’ll send you an enrollment form soon, which you can send in for a username and password. Numerous
features await – here’s a taste:

• Find your classmates
• Join interest groups
• Update your address
• Make a gift online
• View your giving history
• Send “Through the Years” notes
• Become a career advisor for current ESU students
• See volunteer opportunities

That’s right, your ESU Alumni Association is going high-tech. Roy Mann, director of alumni relations, said the online community offers an unprecedented opportunity to connect with alumni of all ages and all locations.“The technology is ready for it, we’re ready for it, and most importantly, our alumni are ready for it. They’re asking for it,” Mann said. “The technology lets us open new avenues to reach alumni. Our traditional outreach
efforts will still be there, but so many people are beginning to prefer the Internet for communication – now we have the chance to reach thousands of alumni on their terms.”
