Alumni.NET:About Us
History
Alumni.NET is a global alumni registry that first went online in 1994. The Registry was started by Mr. Eric Tomacruz, Ph.D. , as a way to get in touch with his friends from high school. Soon, more schools were being added to the registry as more and more people were getting connected to the internet as well. What began as a hobby became a full-scale multi-national registry.
With our tag line "Bringing School and Work Friends Together", we aim to help re-unite old school friends so that we may enrich lives by facilitating communication in relationships. With the world smaller via the Internet, we encourage our members to plan a reunion, exchange photos, or catch up on old times… all of which are possible through Alumni.NET
Alumni.NET has since grown to include millions of registered users from over 102,000 organizations around the globe, and is growing in number everyday. This success all the more makes our efforts worthwhile. Read our success stories and check out our press area to see what others have to say about us.
