Quick Start Guide and FAQs

New Athena's Web, Bryn Mawr's online alumnae/i community includes:

  • Enhanced search capabilities with the on-line Alumnae/i Directory
  • Alumnae Class and Club pages
  • Registration for events on campus, such as Reunion
  • Personal Notes
  • Career Mentoring
  • Bryn Mawr Yellow Pages
  • Discussion Groups
  • Athena's Web Facebook Connection

As always, we take your privacy very seriously. Alumnae/i have the option to hide any information they choose not to have disclosed. If you do not wish others to view any part of your personal profile, simply indicate this on the Personal Profile Privacy Preferences on your My Profile Page. Your listing will not be available for viewing and your name will not appear in any directory search results. We hope that you will use these new tools to connect with your classmates, Bryn Mawr friends and the College. I invite you to visit the new Athena's Web at www.alumniconnections.com/olc/pub/BMC/
