CCSU is working with Harris
Connect in producing an
alumni directory scheduled
for publication in October.
Over the next several months,
you may receive postcards,
emails or phone calls from
Harris asking for updated
contact information. We
would appreciate your cooperation
in updating your contact
information. All updates
are returned to CCSU so
that our database remains
current.
Harris Connect is only collecting
information for purposes
of the directory. Your information
will not be released to
any third parties. You decide
whether or not your personal
information is published
in the directory-make your
wishes clear to the representative
with whom you speak. It
is a great way to stay connected
to the CCSU alumni community!
All alumni who have updated
their information online
will be contacted by Harris
Connect to verify their
information. This step is
necessary to ensure the
integrity of our records
as well as the quality of
the Alumni Directory.
