THE ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATES WEBSITE ADDRESS is www.aogusma.org. Your access to the WWW will give you up-to-date information on what is happening at USMA. We also have established a directory of e-mail addresses for each class. You can make e-mail contact with other graduates who have their e-mail address in the AOG database by using the “Contact A Grad” link on the home page or by using the following simple formula. Address your message using the first eight letters of the last name (all if less than eight), followed by the first letter of the first name and the last two digits of the class year, followed by @aogusma.org. For example if you want to send a message to Tom Mulyca, the address would be “mulycat73@aogusma.org.” To ensure the best communications through any media, it is critical that you provide changes to your addresses, telephone and FAX numbers, and e-mail addresses as they change.

CATEGORIES OF DISTRIBUTION LISTS. In order to send a message to members of these lists, you must be in the AOG database. Information on how to update your database information is at Section 5.

The lists containing whole classes will be moderated lists to ensure the messages on the list are high-quality, low-quantity. Moderation will be performed at the AOG or by an individual designated by the list’s leadership.

LIST MEMBERSHIP. By default, everyone who meets the criteria for the list is added. We can attribute people on our database so that their names are deleted from specific lists. For instance, you may want to be on your society list but not your class list. Each message released through the list server tells the recipient how to get off the list. In all cases, they must send a message to Address@alum.aogusma.org with the name of the list from which they want to be removed. The address clerk can then make the change. Getting back on the list will then require another message to Address@alum.aogusma.org.
