Two new pieces of data are now available for you when completing your profile. The first is “Current Occupation” and is located at the bottom of the profile screen, under Optional Information. The other allows you to list your post-secondary education (college, tech school, etc.).
This weekend the total number of registered alumni across all web sites totaled over 24,000. “Our schools are really doing a great job in promoting their sites and getting the word out for alumni to register,” said Chris Gehringer, owner and founder of The Alumni Channel.

Hebron High School (29), Lenape High School (25), Cherokee High School (24) and Modern American School of Mexico City (22).

We’re pleased to announce that Mercer County Technical Schools has joined with The Alumni Channel to promote and build their alumni association. MCTS will utilize new data collection fields to capture what each alumnus studied while in high school and what industry each is working in now.
In partnership with the educational, business, health care, industrial, cultural and labor communities, the Mercer County Technical School District enables youth and adults to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for career success in the ever-changing technological world.

I am pleased to announce that the Massachusetts Hospital School Alumni Association has joined with The Alumni Channel to promote and build their alumni association. Since 1907, the Massachusetts Hospital School, of Canton, Mass., provides medical, rehabilitative, recreational and educational services to children and young adults who are physically disabled, assisting them to achieve their maximum level of independence in all aspects of life. MHSAA is also our first site to use the new .ws top-level domain instead of .org or .com.

Several months ago the Camden Catholic High School Alumni Association began accepting payments online for their 120th Anniversary Celebration. Over 300 tickets were sold in total, with 94 being sold online. The CCHS Alumni Association is using “Click and Pledge” to manage their online payments. Click and Pledge is just one of dozens of options for collecting online payments. We at The Alumni Channel have found their set up (none), fees (4.5%), and interface to be a good match for our clients.
The Alumni Channel was recently featured in the online newsletter of Canadian FundRaiser, a newsletter that has been updating nonprofit managers twice-monthly on news, trends, tips and analysis of developments in the fields of fundraising and nonprofit management.
