SWE Email Aliases
What is a SWE email alias?
A SWE e-mail alias is an e-mail address created for the swe.org domain (that is ending in @swe.org). This e-mail address automatically forwards all mail to a designated e-mail account. The alias is NOT an e-mail account that can be logged into to review e-mail but simply a pointer to a real e-mail account where message review is possible. As an example, if Jane Doe requests an alias, SWE will create a jane.doe@swe.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it e-mail alias and point it to Jane’s real e-mail account at jane.doe@yahoo.com.This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it All e-mails received for jane.doe@swe.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it will then automatically forward to jane.doe@yahoo.com.
Why would I use an email alias?
There are two principal advantages to using an e-mail alias. First, you can provide your collegues, friends, and family with your swe.org e-mail address. Should you change jobs or your personal internet service provider, you simply notify the SWE Alias Administrator of the new e-mail address to which your alias should point, rather than having to notify everyone that your e-mail address has changed. Secondly, using a SWE alias is a great way to show your commitment to the Society of Women Engineers and create awareness for the organization.
