The Alumni Association seeks your advice
PORTAL PAGE offers features
to welcome and serve alumni

Visit the Alumni Association's PORTAL PAGE for a number of helpful features for alumni. The site offers registration for class reunions and special programs online, including lodging reservations and reserving football tickets for reunion participants. Explore the VTAlumnNet website, which offers free online educational programs, or "knowledge units," as well as a wide range of fee-based courses.

Another online resource, the password-protected ALUMNI GATEWAY, allows you to update your address, phone number, and e-mail in your alumni record, and to request official transcripts. Keep your records current to receive the university's monthly electronic e-newsletter, the VTNetletter; alumni chapter announcements, invitations, and newsletters; special alumni event mailings; access to the Hokie Nation Network; and special news bulletins.

The Alumni Association uses mail and e-mail addresses only for official university and alumni association communications and does not sell alumni addresses to vendors or other organizations. Alumni may always choose to opt out of specific mailings, publications, or e-mail communications.
