If you can’t get back to campus for homecoming, you don’t have to miss the fun. The UMAA will offer a “Virtual Homecoming” through its Web site, with photos, updates, and, best of all, a virtual class reunion. Visitors can go to the new alumni Web site at www.umaa.umn.edu during homecoming weekend and add a class note. Through class notes alumni can not only let others know what they’ve been doing, but also find long-lost classmates. The class notes provide space for a picture and a place to update others on career or family or to share a favorite campus memory. The alumni association will post updates and photos about homecoming events as they happen.

Tell your fellow alums to enter their own notes, then check back at the end of the weekend for updates on homecoming events and to see how many classmates made it to the virtual reunion.

The new alumni Web site also features campus news updates and upcoming alumni events as well as background on all the UMAA’s initiatives. You can sign up for events, learn about tour destinations, become a mentor, or find alumni groups in your area or for your college or special interest.
