ENHANCED FEATURES IN THE GW ALUMNI ONLINE COMMUNITY


We are pleased to announce the availability of two new functions in the GW Alumni Online Community–Global Search and Resume Upload. These functions are now available for registered users of the GW Alumni Online Community.

Global Search
As part of our product enhancement strategy to continue to enable alumni to easily find what they are looking for online, we are pleased to provide this additional search capability. Consistent with standard text-based search capabilities on the web, Global Search will enable you to enter words or phrases to search across multiple areas within the site. Alumni also will be able to determine if they want to target their search to specific areas such as online directory, chapter pages, class notes, uploaded resume content, etc.  Once logged in, simply click on the “Global Search” button in the left hand index column of the Online Community home page.

Resume Upload
To provide enhanced networking opportunities, alumni are now able to upload resumes as part of your online directory profile. When an alumnus’ profile is viewed – a link to the uploaded resume is included as part of the summary to allow for the uploaded resume to be viewed. Alumni can manage their resume through updating their online directory profile.  Simply click on Alumni Directory in the left-hand index column on the Online Community home age, click on View/Update your Alumni Directory listing and then follow the instructions under the Resume Bank heading within your profile.

If you’ve not yet registered for the GW Alumni Online Community, now is the perfect time!  Update us with your contact information to receive periodic emails on alumni events and programs happening in your area through the monthly Regional Roundup and the GW Colonial Cable e-newsletter. You can also learn about numerous other benefits and services made exclusively available to you as graduates of The George Washington University.

Simply log on to www.alumni.gwu.edu and click on Login/Register in the left-hand index column and follow the instructions to establish a user name and password.  If you have any questions or concerns when attempting to log in, please contact the Alumni Online Community administrator at alumolc@gwu.edu, 1-800-ALUMNI-7, or at 202-994-6435.
