Alumni Association Online is Just a Click Away
With just a drag, point, and click, the Ramapo College Alumni Association is at your fingertips with up-to-date information and access to current activities. The Alumni Association homepage located at www.ramapo.edu allows you to surf through interesting information, including the Board of Directors, Alumni Career Network, New Alumni Committee, Alumni Awards, and Ramapo Magazine.
One exciting new service that many alumni can now be a part of online is the Alumni Career Network. Designed to connect Ramapo alumni with other students in their fields, this service provides opportunities for both alumni and students who are about to graduate. The network operates by allowing users to perform searches for alumni by geographical and career preferences. Alumni are encouraged to be mentors or to search the database after completing a brief form.
Also linked to the Alumni Association Web site is another career-enhancing tool known as DBM (Drake Beam Morin). This free service, offered to alumni and students includes a one-hour telephone consultation about any career development issue. It also provides networking opportunities and professional seminars. Although it does not guarantee a job or internship, this service is a useful tool for gaining insight and skills.
Did you just graduate within the past five years? The New Alumni Committee has a separate page, which highlights upcoming events and opportunities to get involved. On September 30 the group had a rewarding experience working with the Paterson Habitat for Humanity constructing affordable homes. Check out the Web site for exciting upcoming activities.
Alumni are also encouraged to go online and nominate their peers for an alumni award. There are four major awards for which alumni can nominate each other including: Service to Ramapo College, Humanitarian Award, International Achievement Award, and the Distinguished Alumni Award. Have someone in mind? Go online and fill out the nomination form. Ramapo Magazine can also be accessed online in the Alumni Association section of the Web site.
People who may not receive this publication or want a quick reference can go to www.ramapo.edu and read the magazine online.
