MUSC Office of Alumni Affairs launches new Web site The Office of Alumni Affairs launched a new and improved Web site early last week. The new Web site is located at http://alumni.musc.edu. The redesigned Web site, previously located at http://www.musc.edu/alumni, includes a number of new features.  Some of them include: An “e-mail forwarding for life” service for recent graduates. The service offers graduates a MUSC alumni e-mail address for graduates that will never expire. This is a valuable service since oftentimes e-mail addresses change as alumni change internet service providers (ISPs). Plans are currently underway to offer this service to all past graduates from the university. A comprehensive section for each of the six colleges at the university. Each college provides information about the alumni association structure, dues, news and events, and even a photo album. A section designed especially for those alumni planning to return to the Charleston area for business or pleasure. An interactive online services section that includes online forms for alumni to update their information, share news and classnotes with the alumni office and fellow alumni, transcript request forms and more. News and events section includes links to a variety of news resources at MUSC, locally and statewide. “Our new site demonstrates our ongoing dedication to our alumni,” said Betsy Waters, executive director, MUSC Alumni Affairs. “We are excited that the new site offers more online services and up-to-date information to our alumni, and we will continually work on adding new and useful features.” Plans are currently under way to develop a gift store where MUSC insignia gifts and alumni products can be ordered and purchased online. The Web site was created through a partnership between Trio Solutions Inc., a local company offering planning, marketing and Web development services to the health care industry, and the MUSC IT Lab.   Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
