alumni from time to time to offer the benefits of our
affinity programs, to provide information about
social, career and educational programs, to allow
alumni to keep current on university developments, alumni associations, events and programs
and alumni achievement awards, and to facilitate
alumni participation in Ryerson University alumni
activities. Ryerson discloses your personal contact

enable them to contact alumni on behalf of Ryerson
and its affinity partners but ensures it has entered

is kept confidential. Ryerson does not rent, trade or
sell its mailing or telephone lists.
The university periodically contacts alumni by
