1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE

This site was created to connect and re-connect with our classmates as we look forward to celebrating our 35th reunion. Even for those unable to attend, we hope to share updated contact information to provide an opportunity to stay in touch. The site is private and can only be accessed by invitation and the creation of a personal profile.

Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of this site is on this page. If you have questions, please contact Kimberley Hawkins.

2. PRIVACY NOTICE

All contact information that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally-owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.

Your contact information will be private by ensuring the following: Each classmate has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. Please note that if you do not opt for privacy on this line, your profile can be viewed by non members and will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Finding your class web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

  • If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non members.

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

All class Email news sent from us to you via this web site: For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender in order to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting Kimberley Hawkins. This will end all communications to you from the Oregon Health & Science University School Of Medicine Class of 1984 (reunion committee), unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

3. SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE

In order to access the pages that are password protected on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address, and a password.

To set up your profile: access the "Classmate Profiles" link on the left sidebar, then click on your name. Follow the prompts to create your profile.

We collect mailing address and phone numbers in order to contact you with information regarding the reunion details. Unless you select the option to share your information with classmates, it will not be visible to others, nor will we share it with anyone else except for the Alumni Relations office at OHSU. 

We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. It's also helpful to upload an additional "Now" photo, and a "Then" photo to help us recognize each other!

If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Oregon Health & Science University School Of Medicine Class of 1984, contact us and your name will be added.

Updates: If you have changes your email address, mailing address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up to date information. 

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be a high security style, just choose something simple that you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit. If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have other email accounts, and don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact Kimberley Hawkins for assistance.

4. "MISSING" CLASSMATES

A nice thing about this site was that it came pre-setup by the host and allowed us to enter the names provided by the Alumni Relations office. The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; so until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing".

Also, please note: We need your help to contact EVERY classmate and have already discovered several invalid email addresses. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please contact Kimberley Hawkins.

5. COMMUNICATING WITH CLASSMATES

To contact a fellow classmate, you may simply use the email option at the top left of each Classmate's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature will allow open communication between Classmates, while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.

6. ADDING PICTURES TO YOUR PROFILE

Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people again. No doubt, we might not even recognize each other without that visual aid as we've all changed a little over the years! :)

Filling in the photo slots at the top of your Profile:

  • Click "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
  • Roll your cursor over the Master Photo, Then, Now, or Yearbook photo silhouette (note you cannot upload a yearbook photo if one has already been provided)
  • Click "Select Photo" displayed in the upper right corner of photo, then click the "Upload a New Photo" button.
  • Select the desired photo from your hard drive. You will then be given an opportunity to edit the photo for a perfect fit.

Adding large "Profile Gallery Images" to your Profile:

  • Clicked "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
  • Click the photo tab in the upper right corner of your Profile.
  • You will see any images previously uploaded here. Click the "Upload a New Photo" button to add more.
  • Click to select images you wish to display on your Profile. All images with a green check mark will display. Click again to not display, and the green check mark will disappear.
  • To add a caption under your images, roll over any image and select "Edit Details". Enter your caption and press save.
  • You can adjust the display order of your photos by simply dragging and dropping them into the positions of your choosing.
