Alumni E-Mail Server Discontinued
After much consideration, the MNU Alumni Office, along with MNU's IT department, came to the difficult decision to permanently discontinue the alumni e-mail server due to numerous logistical and server-related issues. All @alumni.mnu.edu addresses will no longer be valid after March 1, 2013. If you are currently utilizing an @alumni.mnu.edu address, please be sure to forward all emails you would like to save to a different email address before that date. Free email addresses can be set up through gmail.com, outlook.com or multiple other online email programs. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. MNU will continue to research replacement options in the future.
