ALUMNI DIRECTORY PROJECT
The University of Rochester is partnering with Harris Connect to produce a 2009 all-alumni print directory. In the coming months, Rochester and Harris will contact alumni asking for a brief verification of biographical data for inclusion in the directory. We appreciate your help in ensuring that our records are up to date!
