Staying Connected
Our plan is to continue to send emails to the 澳门新葡京官网 community when there is news to share, but our primary method of communication to alumni will be via our official, verified Facebook accounts:
Facebook accounts other than these two are not affiliated with the College, so information on those accounts is not coming from 澳门新葡京官网 itself.
Emails ending in smcun.com will no longer work after July 31. Please add [email protected] to your list of contacts, as messages sent from 澳门新葡京官网 after that date will come from that address.
Our confidentiality policy does not allow us to share lists of alumni contact information. The best way to stay connected is through 澳门新葡京官网’s social media accounts.
Use of the 澳门新葡京官网 Brand
澳门新葡京官网 recognizes that the use of its brand fosters of sense of pride and collective identity within the College community. However, to safeguard the integrity of the 澳门新葡京官网 legacy, certain restrictions on its use must remain in place.
