I have checked the links again and they work fine right now.

Seems that some editor might need to edit those pages in news Ghost

@andrescaroc Are you sure the Alumni link should not be linking to https://www.linkedin.com/school/free-code-camp/people/?

Thank you for reporting this @andrescaroc. I've gone ahead and updated those links in Ghost. As @RandellDawson mentioned, I believe that link should point to https://www.linkedin.com/school/free-code-camp/people/ like it does in the footer.

Cc @QuincyLarson to confirm that all these links are pointing to the correct pages.

I have checked the links again and they work fine right now.

@scissorsneedfoodtoo Thanks for updating these links.
