Creating a Reunion Class Web Site
The World Wide Web is a great tool for communicating with your classmates and getting the word out about your reunion. Wheaton is proud to offer each reunion class its own Web pages to help you:
- share details about mini-reunions or regional gatherings
- recruit volunteers
- find "lost" classmates before the big weekend arrives
- share class photos
- provide information about online reunion registration
- communicate contact information for class officers
- survey classmates about their interests and needs
- advertise reunion plans and activities
What you need to know about creating class Web pages:
1. Each class should identify a volunteer to serve as Class Web master and assume responsibility for the class Web pages. This volunteer does not need to be especially computer-savvy, as the creation and editing of the Web pages is as easy as typing in a basic word processor. The Class Web master should have regular access to a computer and a basic familiarity with the Internet.
2. Assistant Director in the Office of Alumnae/i Relations & Annual Giving, Melissa Nederostek can provide training for new volunteers and provides ongoing support to all class Web masters.
3. The Web master should update and maintain class pages regularly so that the content stays fresh and there is frequently something new to keep classmates coming back. In the weeks just before reunion, an updated "Who's Coming" registration list will be provided online, so that your classmates can keep track of who is attending.
4. Your Web pages can include any or all of the following:
- updates on reunion plans and activities
- photographs of classmates and their families
- letters from classmates who are unable to attend reunion
- schedule of pre-reunion events
- call for volunteers
- reminder about class dues and donations to the Annual Fund
- contact information for officers and others, including e-mail address links
- and much more!
5. All reunion class officers are asked to provide e-mail addresses to be included on the class home page so that friends and classmates can contact you directly with reunion-related questions.
