We owe many thanks to Zahid Butt for helping us track our classmates and get the needed information for these pages. he provided us several other names and contacts which tremendously helped in filling in some of the gaps. At the beginning of this effort, we considered placing these pages on their own domain. We deliberately opted for a more practical route. The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) technology has become increasingly sophisticated. As of now, pages on a new domain get a low ranking. The domain where we are currently sited has been around for almost 2 decades, and this should shorten the time involved before the search engines start picking us up. Once these pages gain the needed ranking we can move them to a new domain without incurring any negative impact.
