Then, click the "Search" button. The search is not case sensitive. Do not use nicknames in your search - directory entries contain full names only.
If there are more than five matches returned, select from the list of names to view their detailed personal information.
Only the first 100 results are returned. Entering both a first and last name will greatly reduce the search results.
Wildcard Search
Wildcards searches allow you to search on partial names. Use the asterisk(*) symbol to indicate "any letter or letters" as in the following examples:
| Search | Results | ||
| ste* chen | Stephanie Chen | Stephen Chen | |
| janet fr* | Janet Franklin | Janet Fredericksen | Janet Fredrick |
Personal entries within this directory contain a person's given name so do not use nicknames in your search. You may enter both first and last name in the search field. For example, "Bruce Miller." This will narrowed down the search greatly.
