New, Improved Website for Alumni

School of Business alumni will find new and improved resources online at www.bus.wisc.edu/alumni.

The School of Business has offered a password-protected online alumni directory since 1998. Feedback and suggestions from alumni led to the enhancements. Upgrades continue, based on feedback from alumni.

Alumni can use the directory to:

• look for a former classmate using the name search function to pull up current contact information
• search for business contacts by title or company name
• locate alumni in a specific geographic area by searching by city or state.

Many alumni have indicated a desire to help current students make the transition from school to business. As a new feature, current students who attend a training session will have access to the online directory and be able to make contacts through the online directory.

As always, privacy protection is a top priority. Alumni control their listing and can go online to update or “hide” specific contact information by making changes to their listing.

The directory is the first upgrade to the alumni website. Other improvements on the way include:

• a class notes feature where alumni can upload pictures and more detailed information on their activities
• profiles highlighting accomplishments of business school alumni
• upgraded online career resources.
