Q:  What is the purpose of the Angelo State University Alumni Association?

A:  The Angelo State Alumni Association provides an organized means through which alumni may contribute their financial and moral support to the continued growth and development of Angelo State University.  The Association promotes scholarships, contributions to special funds, publicizing outstanding achivements and endeavors of the University and provides opportunity for continued friendship and closer relationship among alumni, faculty, administration and friends of Angelo State University.

Q:  What is the definition of an alumnus?

A: Angelo State University defines a person as an alumna/us of the University once they have completed one or more semesters.

 Usage Note: Alumnus is a masculine noun whose plural is alumni, and alumna is a feminine noun whose plural is alumnae. Coeducational institutions usually use alumni for graduates of both sexes.

Q: I love the Angelo State University and attend many things associated with the institution, but am not a graduate of ASU. Can I still become a member of the ASU Alumni Association?

A:  Yes!  Membership is open to all who are friends of Angelo State University. Many of our members are not actual graduates of Angelo State—many attended SAC, ASC or another institution all together!  We welcome all dedicated individuals who support the programs and services offered by the ASU Alumni Association.

Q: If I'm a major donor, am I automatically a member of the ASU Alumni Association?

A: No. Membership in the Alumni Association and gifts to the University are separate items. Your dues payment supports specific programs of the Angelo State Alumni Association, for which you receive direct benefit. Your tax deductible gift/contribution to the Annual Fund, President’s Circle, ASU Athletic Foundation, or Scholarship Fund may be designated to any area of the University, and will support these areas specifically as well as the University in general.

We hope you'll both join the Association and make an annual gift to the University. Your support as always is greatly appreciated.

Q:  How about if I have the ASU Alumni Association Visa card -- does that have any ties to membership?

A:  Credit card holders are not automatic members of the Association. However, the Visa card is indeed part of our affinity program, and thus does help support the Association.

Q: Do you offer insurance to alumni?

A: Many difference types of insurance are offered through the ASU Alumni Association. Short-term health, life, long term care, auto and home insurance are all available through the Alumni Association partners.

Q: Can I buy athletic tickets through the ASU Alumni Association?

A: To purchase athletic tickets, please contact (325) 942-BLUE or tickets@angelo.edu.

Q: Can you help me find an alum?

A: The best way to find a friend or classmate is to become a member of the ASU Alumni Association, which includes the benefit of searching our ASU Alumni Online Directory.  You may also contact the ASU Alumni Association at 325.942.2122 and we can forward your information to the person.

Q: How long will it take to get my membership card after joining or renewing my membership?

A: You will receive your membership card within two weeks of your renewal.

Q: Does my membership expire a year from when I renew?

A: No. If you renew before your expiration day on your current membership, your membership will be extended one year out from that expiration date. For example, if you expire on May 15, 2005 and you renew on January 14, 2005, your expiration date will still be May 15, 2006.

Q: Why am I not receiving my installment of the magazine?

A: If there were not problems with the postal service, more than likely your address is wrong in the data system. Make sure to change your information upon moving and to clearly print on all renewal forms so that the information is not misinterpreted.

Website FAQ

Q: Is the directory secure? Who has access?

A: All of the information and services in the online alumni directory are password-protected and available only to registered users. Each alumnus or alumna also has the option of suppressing information that he or she does not wish to appear on the system. That is, users may turn off particular information fields in their listings to prevent them from being viewed by other users. Only you can access your personal information.

Q: What if I don’t want my information listed?

A: The ASU Alumni Association uses the information you enter on the registration form to better serve you as alumni. Angelo State University values your security and privacy. As a result, we provide two options for your directory profile:

            Option 1 (preferred): You may hide specific information about yourself by checking the "Hide" box to the left of each of the individual information fields on the form if you don't want it to show this specific piece of information on your directory profile. This way the fields you complete and don't hide will be shown to other alumni interested in contacting you or learning more about your activities.

            Option 2: If you wish to be hidden completely from the site, please check the hide box to the left of this message: I do not want friends and colleagues to be able to view any information about me.

Remember, if you choose Option 2 you will not be listed in the directory at all and your friends will not be able to find you in the directory. However, if you only hide specific pieces of information you don't want to share (Option 1) your friends and fellow alumni will still be able to find you in the directory.

Q: How can the directory be used?

 A: The online alumni directory is available to any active member of the ASU Alumni Association.  It is intended as a benefit for dues paying members for the purposes of improving communications among alumni and between alumni and Angelo State. As such, it is for official University use, Alumni Association use and individual alumni use for communication of a personal nature between registered members. Use of this directory for any other purpose (including, but not limited to, reproducing and storing in a retrieval system; creating mailing lists or otherwise using the addresses or other information contained in this directory for any commercial or political mailing) is a violation of copyright and is prohibited.

Q: How can I update my information?

A: If you are already a registered user of the online alumni directory, simply log in, click on My Profile and follow the link to ‘Update Account Info.’ There you’ll be able to submit any name, address, or employment changes. If you are not a registered user of the online alumni directory, please REGISTER. If you have any questions, please contact the alumni office at alumni@angelo.edu or 325.942.2122.

Q: What if I didn’t graduate from Angelo State University?

A: If you are not a graduate of ASU, but would like to be included in the online directory, please contact the ASU Alumni Association at 325.942.2122 or alumni@angelo.edu.

Q: How do I submit a Class Note?

A: If you are already a registered user, simply log in and follow the link to ‘Class Notes.’ Click on Add/Maintain My Notes. If you would like to submit a picture with your class note, please follow the directions to upload a photo into your class note. If you are not currently a registered user of the online alumni directory, please REGISTER.

Q: How can I register for Events?

A: On the home page, click on the “News & Events” on the left side of the page. Click on “Calendar of Events”. Choose the event of your choice. A page will display all the information on the event including an icon to register for the event. Another icon shows you who will be attending the event.

Q: What if I don’t want my e-mail address published? Can fellow alumni still contact me?

A: Yes! This is one of the special features of the ASU Alumni Association’s Alumni Online Community. To better protect your privacy, when you enter your e-mail address in the registration form, it is automatically hidden and will not be able to be viewed in your profile.  If a registered alum is attempting to contact you, you will receive a “blind” e-mail from the person through the online directory. You will be able to view his or her e-mail address and may choose whether to respond. If you do not respond, your e-mail address will not be revealed. In order for the other alum to see your e-mail address, you must respond. In this way, you are in control of which alumni have access to your e-mail address. If you do not choose to allow alumni to contact you by e-mail, they may contact you by phone and/or mail if you allow these fields to be viewed.

 Q: How Do I set up Personal Pals?

A:  Personal Pals can only be accessed by active members of the ASU Alumni Association. To add someone to your Personal Pals list, click on the icon on that user's Profile Page. The User you wish to add will be notified that you would like to add them to your Personal Pals list. After they approve your request, they will be added to your Friends Group.
