- Yes. As long as you are logged into the alumni site, a secure form is provided in which to e-mail others. Your account will send the message on your behalf. The recipient's e-mail address is never revealed on the web site and you do not need an e-mail program installed to send a message.
- If I e-mail someone and they e-mail me back, where do I go to read it?
- When you e-mail someone from the web site, it goes to their regular e-mail inbox. If they reply to you you'll get it in your inbox just the same.
- How do I submit photos for the home page photo gallery?
- Submitted photos should be resized for web viewing (72 pixels/inch resolution and no more than 1024 pixels in width). You can then ask the site administrator how you can submit photos for consideration to be posted.
- I registered, but I cannot log in?

- How can I find my missing password?
- If you are logged out, click "Forgot your password?" on the left-side navigation bar.
- What does, "Sorry, your login information does not match or does not exist." mean, when I try to log in?
- Your e-mail / password does not match for the graduation year selected. Check to see you have properly selected your correct graduation year. Make sure you are using the same e-mail address as the one you registered. If you are still having problems, request to have your password sent to you.

At this point it's best to just register again, but be sure to look for the e-mail confirmation. This e-mail contains a link you must click to activate your account.
