please call today.

anyone else get this urgent email from the university.

GTFOH you bunch of goobers

1. Are your records so crappy you arent sure if im an alum or not.

2. are you really expecting people that graduated to fall for such a stupid marketing trick.

Do better morons.

Maybe the new pres can run off some of these over promoted morons with junior high marketing skills..

What does one have to do to tell these people to frick off. If they want money, quit pissing off alums.

It’s a classic tactic… They get you to talk to them on the phone, and try to get a donation. It may even be an outside company hired by the University to do it.

I’m a lifetime alumni association member, and my address is updated on their website… so I just ignore the email.

Didn’t I see you being escorted off an airplane recently by Air Marshalls? Or maybe it was from a grocery store?

Judging from a lot of your posts here you seem to always be pissed off. Is that your defense mechanism to keep from ever giving them money?

Now this is a more rational response. I’m a Lifetime member also.

I got the e-mail, confirmed the info and never heard from them again in this cycle. They do it every couple of years because people move, people die, people get new jobs, people accomplish things. Alumni participation is a measurement used in rating colleges and Universities as is number of donors. I give something to the university every year for academics as well as athletics. Alone I’m not making a huge difference.

For those that don’t want to be contacted any more send the request to the Alumni off ice and they will remove you from the contact list.

Not sports related.

Take it to the people's forum.

RE: Important Alumni verification email requested
Shortly after moving, I reached out the alumni office over the summer with interest in establishing a new alumni chapter in the largest U.S. metropolitan area without a club.

I was told via email that due to staff turnover they were not starting new alumni chapters or having events until director level staff was hired. That was over 3 months ago.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think there was a road game alumni party this season for football. Basketball games in NYC and Nashville should definitely have events, but nothing scheduled yet?

What's going on over there?

I don't know, but the "services and benefits" page has been "under construction" for over a year.

There are a lot of people "in charge", but no one appears to know how to update a webpage.

https://alumni.memphis.edu/s/1728/c20/in...&pgid=2682

Click "Get Involved" on the main page, and you get another under construction page that tells us the new website is almost ready...

RE: Important Alumni verification email requested
For one I am happy to receive the emails. It provides me with a chance to interrupt my retired loneliness and forlorn existence living alone in the Outback wilderness with my 14 beagles. I take the time to interact with them and enjoy the brief chats. (The callers - not the beagles) While I don't really have any money - I did offer to send them one of my beagles. I haven't heard from them since then but am trying to collect enough money through my Go Fund Me page to buy a shipping crate for the beagle.
