How do I contact fellow alumni?
Gannon University and Villa Maria College alumni can use the Online Directory, a password-protected search engine listing information for thousands of alumni. The database is searchable by name, college, class year, and more. However, the directory does not provide information on alumni that aren't listed in the database or have requested that their information be withheld.
How do I submit a class note?
There are two ways to accomplish this; one, click on the class note header, log in, and submit your class note or two, log in to the directory and click class note located in the left hand column, and submit your note. Class notes are forwarded to the magazine editor along with being posted on-line.
