How do I send a class note?

Class Notes in the Suffolk Alumni Magazine (SAM) are one of the most popular ways to keep up with your fellow alumni. This is the place to find out who’s celebrating an important milestone, changing careers, having a baby or publishing a book. You don’t have to be a media mogul, have made partner or be the youngest member of the House of Representatives to share your news—if you want other alums to know what you’re up to, this is the place to get the word out.
