Is your alumni profile up to date?

What will Lane Stadium look like when the West Side expansion is complete? Who is attending your class reunion? When can you visit the new Holtzman Alumni Center? Alumni whose profile information is current are among the first to learn the answers to these and other questions about Virginia Tech. If you look forward to receiving Virginia Tech Magazine, the Alumni Association news magazine, college and departmental newsletters, invitations to events and community service opportunities coordinated by local Alumni Association chapters, and more, keep in mind that receiving these depends on the university having your current mailing address and e-mail address.

By keeping your contact information current, you also help make the worldwide network of Virginia Tech alumni even stronger. More than 100 Alumni Association chapters make it easy for you to connect with local Hokies, wherever you are. And keeping your mailing information current helps fellow Hokies get in touch with you. The Alumni Association's free and secure Online Alumni Directory--available only to Virginia Tech alumni--is updated periodically with the information you provide. 

It is easy and convenient to update your alumni profile at any time by using the Alumni Gateway at http://www.vatechalumni.com/gateway. Updates can also be faxed to the Alumni Association office (540/231-3039) or phoned in (540/231-6285). Regardless of how you update your profile, the Alumni Association thanks you for staying connected. So be sure to stay in touch!
