Alumni
Portal Goes Online
By Jim Powell
Cal State Fullerton Alumni now have a special place of their
own in web space with the addition of a new Alumni Portal.
A joint project of Alumni Relations, University Advancement,
and Information Technology, this new portal joins similar
Portals already in service for students, faculty and staff.
The portal is currently in a trial release
period; it went online in late February and subscribers to
the Alumni Association’s “@Fullerton” online
newsletter were the first invited to try out the new way to
keep in touch with their alma mater—and each other.
The Alumni Portal is a centralized location
where the CSUF alumni community can access e-mail, the online
Alumni Directory, e-mail forwarding, campus news, and other
alumni-centric campus applications/resources. Alumni will
be able to get the latest on alumni news and events while
staying in touch with the university. With the online Alumni
Directory, grads can see what former classmates are doing
and share their own information and photos; users can share
as much, or as little, information about themselves as they
like, and can change their online profile at any time. Tab
buttons link users to the web pages of the Alumni Association,
Athletics, the Library, and the department from which they
graduated. Quicklinks connect alumni to other sites such as
Student Loan Consolidation, Transcript Requests and Career
Planning and information about taking classes.
New users also have the opportunity to provide feedback about
the portal by way of an online survey.
