your.alias@denison.edu
Here’s one of the Denison community’s best kept secrets: Every former student of the college, degree or no, is able to register for his or her own @denison.edu alias email address–that is, a forwarding address with a simple, consistent format that allows people to contact Denison alumni without knowing their actual contact info. It’s an e-mail address but not an e-mail account. This alias, based on your name as a student and your class year, is permanent. It won’t matter if you move, get married, whatever–there’s only one email address that your friends, family members, or others will ever need to know: firstname.lastname.classyear@denison.edu (or Jane.Doe.77@denison.edu). But remember, this is a forwarding system. It doesn’t work if we don’t have your actual current email address in our database. So get to www.denison.edu/alumni/later.html and give us your current information (unless you’ve already done so, in which case your alias is already active). And if you change your Internet service provider, please be sure to update us.
