Krannert needs alumni
information
for new directory |
In
an effort to help alumni from around the globe find each other
and network, Krannert is proud to announce the publication of a
new alumni directory. Scheduled for release in the summer of 2003,
the directory will be an up-to-date and complete reference of more
than 27,000 Krannert alumni.
The
new comprehensive 2003 edition will list alumni alphabetically,
by class year, by geographic location and by occupation in a special
career networking section. And, for the first time, the directory
will also be available on a searchable, multimedia CD-ROM.
The
Krannert external relations office has chosen Harris Publishing
Company to produce this special edition. Harris will soon begin
researching and compiling the data to be included in the directory
by mailing a questionnaire to each alum. Please be sure to fill
it out and return it as soon as you receive it.
Krannert
appreciates your help in making this directory a success. For more
information, please contact Tim Newton at (800) 893-4108, (765)
