Re: Question Regarding Alumni email

[Whinston Antion <Whinston.Antion () MAIL WVU EDU>]

Option 1 for us at the moment.

Concerning option 2: If a student graduates, then they come back a year later, would you give them @alum and @wpi, or 
switch them back to @wpi?

Subject: [SECURITY] Question Regarding Alumni email


We are evaluating alternatives regarding alumni email. Right now we looking at two options:



Option 1: Allow students to keep their current WPI email address when they graduate:  @WPI.edu

Option 2: Require students to change to a new “alumni” email address when they graduate:  @alum.WPI.edu



I would be interested in how alumni email is handled in your institution. Do you use Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3: 
None of the above. If you choose Option 3 can you please explain?



Thanks,
