Cornell Connect

Cornell deploys an iModules based Alumni Directory that allows Alumni to search for Alumni and to update their own information.  A couple of important things to remember regarding Cornell Connect:

• Access to Cornell Connect is limited individuals granted  Alumni and Alumni Non-Degreed status by Cornell University and to Johnson Graduate School students.
• Data changes made via Cornell Connect are processed via a batch interface into the PeopleSoft system which is the data of record.  Some data elements such as name changes are processed into a report which are investigated and manually updated in PeopleSoft, other data elements are auto-loaded into PeopleSoft.
• Data changes made into PeopleSoft are processed into the directory on a nightly basis.
• Regarding degrees listed in the Directory:
  • Only degrees granted by Cornell University will be listed in the directory.
  • Alumni are not able to edit their degrees,  any request to change a degree should go to Tilly Garnett.
• Alumni are able to ‘hide’ their records from alumni search inquiries.
• Directions for effectively searching  the Directory involves strategies that can be shared with Alumni that may have difficulties locating fellow Alumni’s information.
