  Members of the classes of 1970, 1971, and 1972 who have submitted their own profile may view your page. The general public and other Drake University alumni cannot view your Memory Book page.

• When can I read the Memory Book pages?

  Alumni who submit will immediately be able to view their own page, as well as the pages of other classmates.

If you enter a caption for the profile photo, it will only show when clicking on the overlaying graphic (the letter 'i') in the upper right of the profile photo. Captions entered for the additional photos will display immediately underneath those photos.

• Can I tag friends in photos or memories?

  If a classmate has added a page to digital memory book, then you will be able to tag them in photos and/or memories. Alumni will receive an email update if they have been tagged in a photo or memory.

• I'm attempting to tag my friends but their names don't show up. What's wrong?

  It's possible we do not have a current email address on record for your friends, which results in their names being 'untaggable.' Encourage your friends to send us an email at cathy.williams@drake.edu and ask to be given access to the Digital Memory Book.

• Can I search the Memory Book pages by keywords?

  Yes. You can search by name, class year, dorm or residence, hobbies or interests, or any keyword in general.

  Yes. When you are asked for your first name and last name, there is also an entry to add your spouse/partner name.

• How do I find the map that shows the cities where my classmates are living?

  Navigate to the Digital Memory Book link and scroll to the bottom of the page where you'll find the map.

• When is the Memory Book deadline?

  The book will stop accepting new pages or editing of existing pages in June of 2022. However, if you plan to attend the reunion weekend, please fill out your page prior to arriving.
