Note how they list her as an "alumnus" when at the time she didn't even graduate! It wasn't untill 2007 that she got her BA in French. We Pirates don't go around calling Sandra Bullock an alumnus just so East Carolina can have "street cred". Shameless.
Alumnus (and the various forms) is correctly used to refer to someone who has attended the school - regardless if they have graduated or not.

So yeah, the Cool Cats got it right.
