- We do not currently allow alumni to keep their accounts after they leave
- (other than it is a year after graduation that we `figure out' that they
- are gone). I have been pushing to allow alumni to keep their accounts
- without luck so far, but now I have an unexpected ally -- the Engineering
- College Placement Office has moved their services onto our system -- and
- they offer their services to graduates for life... :-)
