Concordia’s alumni program has seen tremendous growth over the past year as we strive to build a worldwide network of leaders. I hope you’ve experienced the positive strides we’ve taken in one primary goal: to distribute alumni information the Concordia community in an ever-improving manner that serves all graduates. Part of that effort includes the first-ever electronic edition of The Forester. But, you may not know about some of the other tools at your fingertips.

If you haven’t already, be sure to take advantage of these online benefits:

Concordia Alumni Website
The dynamic pages of the Concordia alumni website are continually refreshed with helpful information about the program’s events and benefits. Check out the options listed at the bottom of the page for the latest opportunities available for Cougars of all ages.

Alumni E-newsletter
All are encouraged to sign up for the bi-monthly alumni e-newsletter. Register today to receive the information at your desktop about events, special offers, and to stay connected to classmates in between issues of the Forester. Subscribe today by sending an email to alumni@CUChicago.edu.

Facebook and Linked In Groups
Online social sites are a simple way to interact with friends and classmates no matter the distance. Concordia alumni can network professionally through our Linked In alumni group or personally through our Facebook group. We're hoping to recruit 2,009 alumni to Facebook by 9/02/2009. Nearly 900 alumni have already signed on!

Postcards from Charlie T.
We’re looking for alumni to share photos and stories of these sightings in the interesting places where our alumni live, work, and play. We’re also dispatching Charlie T. Cougar around the world to be photographed with alumni in their exciting locations. Click here to check out some of his early stops and learn how he can join you on your next adventure.

Concordia Connect – Coming Soon!
A web-based portal, Concordia Connect is used by the campus community to access exclusive information and tools. Plans are in the works for an alumni section including an online alumni directory, a secure way to update your records, an option to search classmate contact, and much more. Stay tuned for more details.
