In addition, you’re receiving this email because you either signed up for membership to the UOG Alumni Association or updated your contact information with the University. Over time, email accounts may get deleted or addresses change so some of your fellow alum are not receiving the latest campus-related news which may benefit them. I respect everyone’s privacy so I’m not asking you to send me email addresses. I do humbly ask, however, that if you know alum who don’t seem to be aware of these updates, please forward this email to them. If they contact me and give me their permission, I will gladly include them in our database so that they may start receiving updates. Should anyone opt out from receiving these emails I will surely honor their request as well.
