Update your contact information
We love to keep in touch with our alumni! Please send your preferred email address and any other contact updates to alumni@cranbrook.edu
NOTE: Much of our communication to alumni is sent by email these days, making it more important than ever to have good addresses on file. Many of the free "shared hosting service" emails such as Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL have limitations that result in a high bounceback rate or otherwise undelivered messages. If you can update your record with a Gmail address or another preferred email without shared hosting, this will help ensure that you are receiving alumni updates and information. -
