CONCERNED about Privacy?
Protecting your personal information from unauthorized use is the Culver Legion and Culver Summer Schools Alumni Association’s top priority. All areas of the Culver Online Alumni Directory website that contain private information are housed on a secure server utilizing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption.
Only you can access and update your personal information, and only verified Culver alumni can view records on the Online Alumni Directory. Also, you can specifically indicate what information will be visible to other alumni by selecting the check boxes on the “Update My Profile” screens. (For example, you could choose to hide your home information and display only your business address.)
If you wish to make none of your contact information available to other alumni via the Online Alumni Directory, please log in, go to the “Update Information” screen, and check the box that reads “Block all records from directory.” Then click the “Update” button. Your information will be immediately blocked from other alumni.
For more information, please read our Policy Agreement below.

The directory is password protected to allow access by registered Culver alumni only. Furthermore, the online community is located on a secure web site that incorporates the latest encryption technology. Although these precautions should effectively protect any personal information available through the online community from abuse or outside interference, a certain degree of privacy risk is faced any time information is shared over the Internet. Therefore, through the Profile Management feature of the Culver Alumni Directory web site, you have the ability to control the nature and amount of information available to other alumni.
