Alumni Directory Online

Thanks to much hard work by Chris Achille, #710, the first public version of our new Alumni Directory is up and running. You can login by clicking the Directory link at the top of the RAC website. Currently the database is only partially filled in; we have some basic info in there and limited functionality. As further iterations are put in place there will be more search options and increased capabilities, but for now we need, more than anything, help populating it with updated information.
 
Please visit the directory and create yourself an account. Once logged in you can update not only your own but also other brothers' info. We do have some roll numbers missing names, so please make sure to check the roll numbers you are familiar with and make sure you have filled in any missing spots. Updated contact info is also important, so if you see your own info or another brothers info is incomplete or out of date, please take the time to fill it in.

Visit BitterOldMen.com

The website BitterOldMen.com was started by two early-2000s graduates a couple years ago as a way for alumni of that era to keep in touch as we disbursed across the country following graduation. The site has seen very limited activity lately, and we've decided to try to get more Rensselaer Acacians using it. We've started decade-specific forums and would love to see some of the older alumni sign up and keep in touch with their fellow Acacians. Visit BitterOldMen.com now and sign up for an account.

Dues Payment Address Updated

Please note that the dues payment address has been updated. Ian has moved and payments by check should be sent to the address in Summit, NJ now listed on the Alumni Dues page. Please remember that Paypal is also an option for those of you who don't want to use snail mail.
