Since Russell Bryant graduated from Temple University in 2014, he's been using his student email address. It's linked to his Amazon and Spotify accounts, and listed on resumes he sent to prospective employers.

In early December, Bryant received notice from his alma mater that his @temple.edu email account was going to be deactivated within weeks. The university would no longer allow graduates to keep their accounts for more than a year after graduation, and existing email accounts would be phased out by mid-May 2025.
