The friends tab lets you become friends with other Alumni Members (just like Facebook) and you can control who you are friends with from this tab.
To request to become a friend you will need to go to the Members page and click on ‘Add Friend’ on the profile(s) you wish to be friends with.
Once you have clicked on ‘Add Friend’ it will change to ‘Friend Request Sent’.
The member will then get an email letting them know that you want to be their friend and they can login to accept or reject this.
