Alumni

The DCC Foundation has just launched a new, interactive Web Application which can be accessed at https://alumniconnections.com/olc/pub/DVL/.

With multiple dropdown menus on the web site as guides, alumni may search for individuals using DCC club or organization names, athletics listings, colleges attended beyond DCC, types of degrees at DCC or from other colleges, specific trade areas studied or specific years of attendance.

Explanation of the application site and its usage:

Service to the more than 68,000 alumni, students who passed at least one credit class, is the purpose of DCC’s web site for alumni from Danville Technical Institute, VPI-Danville and Danville Community College, individuals from classes beginning in 1936 and continuing to the present day students.

Once former students have registered on the site with their names and dates of birth, the service component, the Career Center, will be available.
The Career Center is a job and resume databank which handles hundreds of college web sites nationally.
Students may use the Career Center to search across the community of colleges with job postings.
Alumni may reply to those offerings as well as post their own resumes for company recruiters to peruse.
The Career Center includes national access for approved outside companies and executive search firms.
For the DCC region, firms posing job offerings through the college will automatically have their postings also added on the alumni web site.
Individuals seeking career advice or mentoring can at the same time opt-in to post their needs for mentoring.
The web site will offer options for alumni to locate friends, classmates, faculty and staff.

Alumni can post their own profiles through a MyPage, update their profiles, post pictures, create address books, set up links to the latest job postings or latest resumes, set up links to the latest profiles posted in specified areas and request specific types of e-mails being sent from the college.

To protect privacy, alumni e-mail addresses will remain blind between alumni and the public.
Alumni addresses are not released to the public.
All information posted on the site by alumni is monitored by the college for acceptability.

The alumni association is being developed with the participation of alumni working through committees to create by-laws, a three-year operational plan, an alumni recognition program, an alumni council and alumni officer board and an alumni office. Any alumni wishing to participate in the ongoing planning can contact the alumni relations representative at alumni@dcc.vccs.edu or call the alumni phone line at 434-797-8499.
