Alumni Volunteer Online Tools: Training Materials

To help Dartmouth's many alumni volunteers, the Alumni Relations Office Information Resources Unit offers several online tools: a broadcast email tool; online event registration; and CMS Made Simple, a tool for creating a basic Web site for an alumni class, club, or group. Below are training materials for the broadcast email tool. In the future we'll add training materials for the event registration and CMS tools, so please visit again!  If you don't find an answer to your question here, please contact our unit's Alumni Help Desk at (603) 646-3202 or support@helpdesk.dartmouth.org.

 

Broadcast Email Tool Training

We offer the HarrisConnect email tool. The tutorials are presentations you can watch and listen to that walk you through using the tool — no special software is required. The PDFs require that you have Adobe installed.
