Icon for new website

reunion weekendSince so many alumni do not know about how to put an icon of our new website on their smart phones, we are reruniing a spot to help any who are interested in the process.

Did you know there is an "app" for our website? After months of preparation and work, your Fort Wayne Alumni Center has a new mobile-friendly website that launched during Reunion Weekend 2017. The new site has a new name, www.fwalumnicenter.org, and welcomes alumni back to the corner of Indiana and Rudisill, where we continue to care, connect, and celebrate. It features easier navigation, faster archive searches, features at your fingertips, social media connections, and more. You’ll appreciate this new way for us to care, CONNECT, and celebrate!
