An online network exclusive to Purdue people called Boilersphere (www.purdue.edu/boilersphere) launched earlier this year. Registration for SVM alumni, faculty, and staff is now open. Users can login from anywhere and reconnect with former friends and professors, network with other Purdue graduates, or share experiences with current Purdue students. Becky Hershey of the School of Veterinary Medicine Development Office is coordinating the SVM group on Boilersphere. “We’ve been busy putting up photo albums and creating posts about topics like research and current events,” says Hershey. One of the biggest draws to the site is job listings. “Many companies look for Purdue graduates to fill open positions. This site provides a forum for companies to target Purdue people with specific job opportunities,” Dan Gentry, director of advancement information services.

Several companies have job openings listed, and Purdue alumni who join can post job openings from their own companies for free. “Our alumni are always looking for ways to get involved and give back to Purdue,” Gentry says. “Boilersphere provides a great opportunity for them to mentor students without stepping foot on campus.” He says Boilersphere is different from other networking sites like Facebook or LinkedIn because it is exclusive to Purdue students, alumni, faculty, and staff. A database of eligible members was created prior to the launch, so when someone attempts to join, the database authenticates the information and allows only eligible members access. The Boilersphere Help Desk can answer questions or address any login problems.
