[Editors] alumni page

[Andrew Whitacre]

We have a master's program alumni page whose bios, in theory, alums themselves manage:
http://cmsw.mit.edu/people/alumni/

All alums are registered with the site, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean they keep their profiles updated.

And saying they're registered, in our case, is the same as saying they are users and have certain permissions, such as posting to our blog.

Adding the Comparative Media Studies program alumni was a slog but fairly straightforward since we had most of their current info. I'm in the process now of adding Science Writing alums, which is much harder since the program hadn't kept in touch with them as well. I wouldn't know where to begin with undergrad alums.

We are in the process of expanding our alumni engagement at the Media Lab, so I'm also interested to hear about various solutions to giving alumni the ability to post info online. Thanks!

Does any department maintain an online alumni page, perhaps attached to your departmental website, where you can run expanded alumni notes, pictures and the links they want to include? Some of the undergraduate class secretaries who write columns in Technology Review have extensive online pages.
