The Burlington County Institute of Technology is proud to announce the unveiling of a brand new alumni web site, designed by Alumni Channel, to reach out to the over 10,960 students who have graduated from the district since its inception in 1962.The design calls for a separate site for alumni from each campus. Current staff, former faculty, friends and parents are also invited to log on to the new site. Once an individual registers on the site he or she will have access to individual biographies, post and view photos, and have the ability to enter into dialogue with other registrants. There is a forum for class reunions, finding lost classmates, general discussion, and an “In Memoriam” forum for sharing memories of deceased classmates and staff.
Dr. Dolores Szymanski, Superintendent of Schools at Burlington County Institute of Technology is encouraging members of the BCIT family to visit the new alumni web site. “The new alumni web site will be a valuable tool for our graduates to nurture the relationships that were developed during their time at BCIT. We hope a large number of graduates and friends of BCIT take advantage of this resource.”
Graduates of both campuses are encouraged to sign up at the new sites by going to the sites directly at the following web address:
BCIT/Westampton (BCVTHS): west.bcitalumni.org
BCIT/Medford (Ossi): medford.bcitalumni.org
For further information about the web sites, contact Nancy Cunningham at 609-267-4226 Extension 335 or at ncunningham@bcit.cc.
