An online alumni directory is available through the Penn State Alumni Association (PSAA), but it is available only to PSAA members. It allows members to search for friends by last name, class year, geographic location, or some other customized search. The information in the online directory is password-protected, and is only accessible to PSAA dues-paying members. All Penn Staters, however, can visit the site, update their information, or limit the amount of information that is viewable. To use the online directory, members need to set up a new user account by using their last name and the unique identifier number that is printed above their name on The Penn Stater magazine or the School of Forest Resources Alumni Newsletter.
