How do I change my preferred name?

How can interact with current students and make my profile visible to them?
In the Profile section, change the "Do you wish to share your profile with Students?" setting to "Yes".
Selecting to share your profile with students means that your alumni profile will become visible to students in the FalconNet system.
In addition, you will also be able to search for and see student profiles. Students will most likely contact you by e-mail with career-related questions. They may also invite you to become one of their "contacts" through FalconNet.
I would like to use FalconNet to recruit students with an interest in my company, for internships and jobs. Is this possible?
Yes, by changing the "Do you wish to share your profile with Students?" setting to "Yes," you are also given access to the profiles of students who have registered with FalconNet. This means, you can search the directory for students whose profiles match your professional criteria. You may then contact them to discuss internships or jobs.
