Alumni Directory
Production will be a collaboration between the Alumni Office and Harris Connect, the nation's leading alumni directory publisher. Beginning in January, Harris Connect will contact alumni via postcard and email to invite them to update or verify their profiles for inclusion in the directory. Alumni will be given a phone number or a Web site they can use to update or verify their information.
Profiles in the 2012 directory will present a preferred mailing and email address for alumni of the undergraduate and graduate schools. In addition, alumni-submitted photos and biographical notes will be featured. The directory will be sold in hardbound and CD-ROM formats. Purchase the AU Alumni Directory online.
To submit information online, you will need the ID # and password from the email alert you received from Harris Connect. If you cannot locate your ID # and password, contact Harris Connect at help@alumniconnections.com and include your full name and AU class year. Submit information online.
The Alumni Office encourages all alumni to take a few moments to participate to make this the most complete and accurate resource possible. The last print alumni directory was published in 2008.
For more information on the directory, please contact the Alumni Office at (765) 641-4100 or alumni@anderson.edu.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Alumni Directory project?
The Alumni Directory project will pull together information from Anderson University alumni all around the world, allowing alumni to connect with one another using the most up-to-date information on hand. The directory will have two components—a beautifully bound hard cover publication with alphabetical listings by region and by class year, and a multimedia, searchable CD-ROM. In addition, it will not only feature alumni -- names, addresses, affiliations, businesses, networks, and special interests – but also photos and biographical information such as family and employment updates.
Why is AU creating a directory?
As you know, alumni change emails, jobs, and locations often, making it hard to keep up with them. We have therefore partnered with Harris Connect to update contact information for you so that you can keep up-to-date on how you can reconnect with old friends as well as network professionally.
Does it cost anything to participate?
There is no cost associated with participation—simply just a few minutes of your time to update your address, phone number, and other relevant contact information.
How will I be contacted?
You will be contacted via postcards and emails starting in early 2012. To verify your information and provide an opportunity to purchase the directory you may be contacted again by phone.
Can I order just the CD-ROM or just the book?
Yes. You can order either or both. Purchase the AU Alumni Directory online
