Just got an email stating the @alumni.lsu.edu email service will be ending May 31. I've used this as a primary email since graduating almost 20 years ago. Going through all my account and updating to a new address is going to be a pain in the arse.

Anyone else use this too?

Alumni didn’t donate enough to keep the servers active

It's probably shutting down because you're the only person still using it

Makes sense


Who would want people to know that they went to lsu?

It seems like I remember they once made a big deal about getting an LSU alumni email address.

You might think the costs to maintain this would be slim and continuing this program would help them stay in touch with the alumni base. Maybe someone has some insight.

Unfortunately, due to increasing security and safety concerns, we will be discontinuing this program.


This was the only reason stated in the email

A&M did that about 2 years ago. It was terrible moving over every single account to another email

Security and safety concerns?

What the hell does that mean? I am shocked they didn’t throw in some “out of an abundance of caution.”

Everyone who was still using an alumni.lsu.edu email is old enough to click on those HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA links and download some ransomware

I do, and I am glad you posted this because that email was delivered to my junk folder.

Fun times ahead.

I was sad to see mine go but they shut mine down like 10 years out, not 20.
