A few of our classmates have inquired whether their email (called 'Private Messages') sent through this website are truly private, or whether they could be read by unintended individuals, including Site Administrators. Consulting with the Class Creator staff, who wrote the software and who host our site, confirmed that your 'Private Messages' transmitted and received through this site are indeed confidential. They can only be seen by the sender and the recipient. You are, nevertheless, welcome to exchange 'outside' email addresses through your initial 'Private Messages' and communicate thereafter directly via email in that fashion, outside of this site (which might be more user friendly, for those who use smart phones for email).

Totally your choice, but we want you to know that 'private' does mean 'private.'
