Can the alumni directory’s functionality eventually allow our alumni to search for those who have earned multiple degrees from us? Currently, it can only pull results for the primary degree, which excludes many of our alumni from searching/being searched on their secondary (i.e. masters) degrees. Our old CMS's alumni directory offered this functionality.
I am honestly surprised that NetCommunity would be launched without this capability. It is so important to the purpose of connecting alumni with their classmates.
Absolutely needed in this day where students regularly have dual majors and specializations and connect with peers in those various classes.
Throwing in our vote to be able to see multiple majors attached to a degree.
We have alumni with up to 6 various degrees (undergrad/grad). We'd like classmates to be able to search for each other. One ClassOf/Degree/Major does not accomplish this.
Many of our alumni have earned multiple degrees and majors (up to four degrees in a few cases and many with two or three degrees) through our school. By limiting the listing to only one degree and one major, the online alumni directory does not give us opportunities to recognize their accomplishments and continued loyalty in attending our university for multiple degrees.
Similarly, the directory profile page only allows us to list primary alumni information. It also only allows us to list one major per degree. So, not only can we not show that people have received multiple degrees from our institution, but we cannot show if they double-majored, either. This kind of thing is pretty important to you when you achieve it.
We run into the same problem due to Double Majors. It shouldn't be up to us (the alumni office) on which one should be searchable by. Both Majors should come back when a search is done.
