Why alumni use it

Find the people you lost track of.

Search by name, class year, school, company, city or industry. Lost your roommate's email years ago? Start here.

See where your classmates are now.

Profiles stay current, so you see where people are today, not a decade-old snapshot.

Reach out without swapping emails.

Send a message through the directory. You never see the recipient's email address, and they choose whether to reply.

Open only to your community.

Only verified alumni of your school can sign in. Nobody else can browse the directory, and it isn't indexed by search engines.

How it works

  1. 1

    Get your invite.

    Your school sends you a link, or you sign in with the email your school has on file.

  2. 2

    Check your profile.

    It's ready when you arrive. Look it over and choose what fellow alumni can see.

  3. 3

    Start searching.

    Look up a classmate, browse your class year, or find alumni in your city or your field.

You're in control

Your profile, your rules.

Choose which parts of your profile other alumni see: work, education, location, previous name. Turn any of them off, or hide your whole profile with one click. Only verified alumni can contact you, you can turn messages off at any time, and we never sell your information.

  • Show or hide work, education, location and previous name
  • Hide your whole profile with one click
  • Turn off messages from other members
  • Sign in with a passkey or a one-time email code, no password to remember

FAQ

Why am I in this directory?
Your school set it up for its alumni, and you're part of that community. You can review, change or hide your profile at any time.
Who can see my profile?
Only other verified alumni of your school who are signed in. Never the public or search engines.
Can I update my profile?
Yes. Edit any part of it, add what you're doing now, and choose what's shown.
Can someone email me directly?
No one sees your email address. Messages go through the directory, and you decide whether to reply.
How do I remove myself?
Open Privacy Settings and select "Hide all my information". Your profile disappears from search right away.
Is it free?
Yes, for alumni. Your school provides it.
For schools

Give your alumni a directory they'll actually use, without a second database to maintain.

BrightCrowd Directory connects directly to the CRM you already run, like Salesforce or Raiser's Edge, and gives your alumni a clean, private way to search for and reach each other. Your CRM stays the system of record. The directory is the alumni-facing layer on top, so there's no second database to maintain and no duplicate updates. Alumni sign in with a passkey or your school's SSO. You set the privacy defaults, and alumni can tighten them.
  • Works with your existing CRM (Salesforce, Raiser's Edge and others)
  • One source of truth: no separate alumni database to keep in sync
  • A simple, modern interface alumni can use without training
  • Privacy defaults you set, which alumni can tighten
