Email from the college of business

[oldguystudent]

So my guess is that the College of Business is sending this out to all its alumni.  Good on them.

Does COBA have its own Alumni Association?

I got it too. It's the thought that counts, I know. But c'mon, what's with these emails that are just one big JPEG with no actual text? I get these from no one but spammers, and UNT.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think Capper was responsible for these emails too...

I had similar thoughts, but at least clicking on said jpg takes you directly to ticket purchase.

As a formal organization, I don't think so but they do send out a whole bunch of college specific stuff about various and sundry breakfasts, happy hours, and the occasional football game tailgate.

Agree. But some folks like to search their email to go back and find old ones for reference (or ticket buying), and this eliminates the chance of this. Also by default many email clients do not display images, so this will open as a blank message.

A step in the right direction, but a little guidance and their efforts could be far more effective.

I'm already dead to them.

Thought you were talking about this one. Networking!

I guess they must.  I graduated 59 years ago and I still get everything that they mail.

The College of Engineering also sent out a similar email to attend the SMU game. I like this idea.
