college alumni lists online #general
Renee Steinig
Increasingly, college and university graduates are listed on their
schools' alumni websites. Some of these online directories can only be searched by alumni using passwords or access codes; others allow non-alumni to view some minimal -- but potentially useful -- information. For example, the Brooklyn College site < tinyurl.com/BrooklynAlumni > is searchable by maiden or married name. So a search for one of my family surnames, WEITZNER, yielded a list of nine graduates, including four women listed by their married names. (Note: Searching for any of these four women by first name and maiden name brought no results.) On the other hand, the Barnard College site < tinyurl.com/BarnardAlumnae > can be searched only by the surname currently in the school's alumnae records. However, maiden names do appear in the search results and results may also include the names of family members who did not attend the school. Other alumni sites I've used: Duke University < tinyurl.com/DukeAlums > Cornell University < http://www.cornell.edu/search/?tab=people > Harvard < tinyurl.com/HarvardAlumni > New York University < tinyurl.com/NYUAlums > University of Pennsylvania < tinyurl.com/PennAlumni > Yale University < tinyurl.com/YaleAlumni > Other information that showed up on one or more of these sites: current state of residence, zip code, major, year of graduation, degree, school attended (i.e. within a university), email address, and whether the person is registered on the site. To search for alumni sites, try googling the college or university's name plus the words ** alumni directory **. On the site, look for the link for first-time login by alumni.
