STU Alumni Association to Launch New<br />
On-Line Portal<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>University</strong> Alumni<br />
Association is currently developing a new<br />
website to be launched later this year. It<br />
will offer a comprehensive selection of<br />
news and services to alumni and friends,<br />
including event registration, on-line giving,<br />
club/chapter support, e-mail, a new on-line<br />
directory and many other services.<br />
The online directory will initially list the name of each alumnus,<br />
former name, preferred class year and majors. We will show<br />
other information such as home address, home phone, home e-<br />
mail address, business address, only with your permission.<br />
This summer, all alumni will receive a letter from the Alumni<br />
Association with his/her login name and password for the new<br />
site. Once you have logged in, you can choose what information<br />
you would like to appear in the directory and take advantage of<br />
the many services the site will offer.<br />
We welcome any feedback on the current website and suggestions<br />
for features and content for the new one. Please send your<br />
comments to Jerry Bernfeld at jbernfeld@stu.edu.
