NEW HARRIS ALUMNAE DIRECTORY
Alumnae are scattered across the country, and even around the world.But no matter where their lives have led them, our alumnae all share a common bond – and that’s the place they started out.
As noted in our last issue of Hallmarks, we are working on a new publication designed to help bring our alumnae back together.This new alumnae directory will include comprehensive biographical listings with contact information, career overviews, and family highlights for more than 6,000 of our graduates. Plus, special sections about Lauralton that will help you reminisce as you read about our past and learn what’s in store for the future.
To make sure our directory is as up-to-date as possible, our publisher, Harris Connect, will begin contacting alumnae in the next few months to verify that the information we will print is accurate and complete. You may receive an e-mail asking you to go to a link to verify your info, a letter asking you to call an 800 # or a phone call asking you to verify over the phone. Harris Connect has more than 40 years experience researching and publishing alumnae and membership directories.
Please help us make this publication full of the latest information about you and your fellow alumni.It will be fun to reference and helpful keeping people in touch. Any questions, please contact kdonahue@lauraltonhall.org in the Alumnae Relations Office.
