Alumni! Welcome to the DEIL alumni site! This is your site!

Alumni Update Form DYI Fall 1999 DYI Fall 2000 DYI Spring 2004

Our alumni effort, which began in 1990 under the Directorship of Braj Kachru, was spearheaded by Laura Hahn (1986) and myself. It was our goal, then as now, that _DEILing You In_ would keep you informed of happenings in DEIL and in the lives of your fellow graduates--now exceeding 1000! Apparently, our work has struck a chord with many of you; we have been so surprised and pleased at the number of alumni who have thanked us for seeing that DYI reaches you semester after semester. It has certainly been our pleasure!

This Website is another means to further our original goal. Thanks to our 1999-2000 editor, Jean Czaja, we now have two offerings here. The first is a "two-way street" -- a way you can help us help you. Our Alumni Update Form makes it easy for you to keep us informed of changes in your postal and e-mail addresses and of developments in your personal and professional lives. I hope you will avail yourself of this opportunity to feed us the latest scoop.

Our second offering is an electronic version of current and back issues of _DYI_. They are available in PDF format, readable (and printable) with Adobe Acrobat Reader which is free to anyone. (If you need Acrobat Reader, click here to find Adobe's download site.) This _DYI_ archive may be more for historical documentation than for anything else. But if you move around a lot--which comes with our professional territory--and we can't keep up with you--which is the sad lot of an alumni database manager (like myself)--then you can always read the latest issue of _DYI_ at your nearest Web connection.

So stay in touch. Let us hear from you so you can keep on hearing from us!

Our best wishes,
