Is Anyone Here a Marine Biologist?


No, no, we don't really need a marine biologist (yet). What we do desperately need is a web developer that can help take this site to the next level. In the last month, 300+ brothers have visited this site from around the world. That's great news as we look to grow this into our primary communications tool. That's bad news in that we have no idea who any of these 300 brothers are.

So we need two things as soon as possible:
  1. A way for alumni to provide their current contact information.
  2. A way for alumni to search this database for other brothers.
Our alumni database today is pulled from various sources (the UR Alumni Office, Kappa Sigma Nationals, UPC, the Foundation, the actives). So many different inputs has made maintenance of a master alumni list difficult. We believe that bringing this data collection in house - and making it accessible to the rest of the brotherhood - is the best way to help brothers stay connected.

So anyone out there who knows how to build the forms and database we need to capture, store, and search this data, please help.

or call me (804-366-1996).
