Do they? The institutions I've worked with shut off e-mail access between 6 months and 1 year after a student is no longer active.
I wonder what the benefit is.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoThe benefit is that it makes it easier to hit them up for donations. I'm not sure how common it is, but my wife has an edu email address despite being well over twenty years from graduation.
- AlotOfReading 1y agoI still get the occasional email to mine inviting me to student events. Not sure they realize I graduated, but it was long enough ago that some of the buildings the events are held in didn't exist when I attended.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoI distinctly remember that Freshman year, we were told in some big auditorium, during onboarding, that we should start using our university-provided emails as our primary "professional" emails. Someone then asked what happens when we graduate and lose access to those emails, and they didn't have a particularly good answer. I think that was also the same onboarding where they passed around a piece of paper for us to sign in with our name and social security number.
