Partnering with Harris Connect
Our alumni change e-mails, jobs and locations, often making it hard to keep up with them. That's why we've contracted with Harris Connect to update contact information for you, our alumni, so you can be kept up-to-date on Golden Gate University’s news, activities and events.
The new alumni directory will include comprehensive biographical listings with contact info, career overviews and family highlights of our alumni. You can reconnect with old friends and classmates as well as network professionally.
To make sure our directory is as up-to-date as possible, Harris Connect will begin contacting alumni by e-mail and/or regular mail in June to verify that the information we will print is accurate and complete. Help us help you to stay connected.
