The MIT Alumni Network Services has developed a service entitled "E-mail Forwarding for Life" that gives alumni a permanent mail address from MIT. This service is free and easy to register for; just go to https://alum.mit.edu/as/online-services/index.html to fill out the registration form. You must have an Infinite Connection account to use the service. There is a FAQ available at http://alum.mit.edu/help/faq-efl.html Please note that this is not a permanent Athena account; rather, it is a way to forward mail to your account at your work or other service provider. It will, however, give you a permanent address at MIT that people can send to, given that you have another account configured to receive the forwarded mail. You can also contact the Alumni Association at: Association of Alumni and Alumnae of MIT 77 Massachusetts Avenue Building 10-110 Cambridge MA 02139-4307 (617) 253-8200 (voice) (617) 258-7886 (fax) aacomments@mit.edu (email) for more information.
