Each month, the alumni relations team and I send out an electronic newsletter. The positive feedback has been overwhelming! After each month’s e-newsletter goes out, my email inbox lights up with messages from alumni who appreciate the update from the Hill. Because we create and send this message on a monthly basis, we can include current information that occurs between issues of ACU Today. Recently, we also have used the e-newsletter to invite alumni to ACU events in their communities, provide presidential transition updates, promote Homecoming activities and share holiday blessings from the Alumni Relations office to you. The rise of printing and mailing costs, coupled with a desire to be more green, has made email an increasingly attractive medium for our communication with our alumni and friends. Since May, we have invited alumni to events in Abilene, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston via email invitations only. These events were well attended and we enjoyed reconnecting with alumni in these areas. However, because we do not yet have email addresses for all our alumni, we know there were some who did not receive invitations. If you are reading this and are not receiving the monthly e-newsletter, please take a moment to send me an email (larry.musick@acu.edu) and include your preferred email address for receiving the alumni e-newsletter and other invitations. Our goal is to respect your privacy and to avoid sending you unwanted email. To that end, we plan to send the e-newsletter toward the beginning of each month and, with rare exception, send you no other messages during the month. We look forward to seeing you at an Abilene Christian alumni event in your community. Look for us in your inbox! – LARRY MUSICK (’84) Director of Alumni Relations and University Events
