MUSC Alumni Office Launches New Web site
Charleston, South Carolina -- The Office of Alumni Affairs at the Medical University of South Carolina
launched a new and improved Web site early last week. The new Web site is located at http://alumni.musc.edu.
The redesigned Web site, previously located at http://www.musc.edu/alumni, includes a number of new
features. Some of them include:
- An "e-mail forwarding for life" service for recent graduates. The service offers a MUSC alumni e-mail address for graduates that will never expire. This is a valuable service since oftentimes e-mail addresses change as alumni change internet service providers (ISPs). Plans are currently underway to offer this service to all past graduates from the University.
- A comprehensive section for each of the six colleges at the University. Each college provides information about the alumni association structure, dues, news and events, and even a photo album.
- A detailed section about the abundance of benefits for active members of the MUSC alumni association.
- A section designed especially for those alumni planning to return to the Charleston area for business or pleasure.
- An interactive online services section that includes online forms for alumni to update their information, share news and classnotes with the alumni office and fellow alumni, transcript request forms and much more.
- News and events section includes links to a variety of news resources at MUSC, locally and statewide.
"Our new site demonstrates our ongoing dedication to our alumni," said Betsy Waters, executive director, MUSC Alumni Affairs. "We are excited that the new site offers more online services and up-to-date information to our alumni and we will continually work on adding new and useful features."
Plans are currently underway to develop a gift store where MUSC insignia gifts and alumni products can be ordered and purchased online.
The Web site was created through a partnership between Trio Solutions Inc., a local company offering planning, marketing and Web development services to the healthcare industry, and the MUSC IT Lab.
