The 2007 MSCD Alumni Directory: Be part of it!
Because
so many of you have expressed interest in re-kindling old friendships
or simply finding out what has happened to former classmates, we have
decided to create an “Alumni Directory” for Metropolitan State
College of Denver graduates. This exciting and invaluable resource will
include personal, academic and/or business information about your fellow
alumni.
We will be contacting you shortly, through our vendor Harris Publishing, about updating your information.
When you receive your Directory Questionnaire, don’t miss your opportunity to be part of this important project. Take a few minutes to update and return your information—and we will be sure that you are included, so old friends can find you!
We encourage you to contact Harris Customer Service Office at 1.800.414.3008 or via email at: customerservice@harrisconnect.com to share your information directly with them.
If you have any additional questions, you can contact the Alumni Association at 303.556.8320 or alumni@mscd.edu. Look out for this exciting new product available in early 2007!
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:

great. To learn more, please CLICK
