What is MySJU for Alumni or the alumni portal?
The MySJU portal serves as the secure unified gateway to all institutional web-based services for students, faculty, staff and alumni of Saint Joseph's University. The portal provides a broad range of personalized functions and services which serve to better engage and communicate with the SJU community. The portal does not replace the traditional university web site, which remains the face of the university to external constituencies.
Among the primary features available to alumni in a customizable channeled and tabbed content layout are: the ability to update personal university records and manage their alumni directory profile; search the alumni directory; notify the university about areas of interest; register for events; receive targeted announcements; access personal, alumni and university event calendars; take advantage of career services and networking opportunities; participate in university surveys and elections; make secure on-line gifts and view giving history; tell us your news and read class notes; access live and archived streaming video of seminars, lectures and campus events. Members may also join fellow alumni in affinity groups within the portal where they can share news and announcements; exchange files, photos, and links; communicate via group message boards; chat live and post group calendar events.
This is an intranet and is only available to the Saint Joseph's University community. Currently the system is available to alumni, students, faculty and employees. It may be available to other populations in the future.
