Hello fellow SFU alumnus! This news has utterly disappointed me as well. I'm motivated enough about it to raise a stink. Feel free to DM me if you're down for an uphill battle.

I actually worked in IT Services a during my time at SFU and all I can say is that,the upper management were more career executives than people motivated by actually helping. As such, it came as no surprise that they took the easy way out.

It's really frustrating. As I said, I've used the same address for 20+ years now and it seemed like good brand awareness for the university to maintain this service for graduates/professionals so I never thought I suddenly have to move away from it.

You can find my non-SFU (!) contact info in my profile.

I think you might need to update your "About" section. That's the only part that's visible to non-admins.
