  • @broox @ibcheerful The company DOES want to sell you the directory, but the college makes no money from that (1/2)

  • @broox @ibcheerful Our purpose is just to make sure we have good contact information and that if people WANT a directory, they can get one

  • @broox @ibcheerful The last directory came out in 2002, so it's missing a lot of alums

  • Why not build your own alumni directory and make it available for alumni online? Surely you have the data and resources.

  • @broox @cornellcollege Frankly the sell is too hard, seems like a service the alumni office should provide. It seems almost too easy.

  • @skabaru @broox The problem is getting good contact info for 12,000 alumni. But we have gotten complaints, & we're working to address them

  • i just think most people would feel more comfortable calling you or updating a form on your site over calling a 3rd party

    broox posted

  • @broox I've thrown away several reminder cards from the 3rd party BUT I'd be happy to respond directly to @cornellcollege (and have).
