News & Notes
Join the listserv for the Oberlin Club of Portland (OCPDX)! By joining the OCPDX listserv, you will be able to instantly send and receive messages to all of your fellow alumni who have joined the OCPDX listserv.

To Subscribe to the list:

To subscribe to the listserv, please send an email to:

majordomo@venus.cc.oberlin.edu

Please leave the subject line blank. The message body should contain the following text only:

subscribe oberlinalumni_portlandoregon

There should be no other text in the body of the message and all signature information should be turned off/deleted.

To post messages to the listserv, send an e-mail to: oberlinalumni_portlandoregon@oberlin.edu

By subscribing to the OCPDX listserv, users agree to follow the guidelines and conditions of the listserv.

Listserv users--
The OCPDX listserv may be used only by Oberlin alumni. Oberlin College reserves the right to terminate a user’s access to the OCPDX listserv at any time.

Messages--
The OCPDX listserv is not moderated. There is no editorial review by Oberlin College or OCPDX of messages before they are sent. Messages and opinions posted on the listserv are entirely those of the author, and not those of Oberlin College or OCPDX. Please do not post any defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal information or material. Please remember to respect each other at all times, even in disagreement.

Attachments--
Please do not send attachments. Users of the listserv open any e-mail attachment at their own risk. Oberlin College and OCPDX do not scan messages and attachments sent to the listserv for viruses, worms, or other computer-related threats.

Subject lines--
Please use a specific/efficient title for your messages. Summarize the content to attract attention and save everyone’s time. People like to select e-mails to read based on their subject line--make yours count.
Example Subject Lines:

FYI: - This tells users that the message includes some sort of general announcement (non-Oberlin event) or news, something to look out for, etc.

EVENT: - This tells users about an event that is of interest to Oberlin alumni, such as an upcoming performance, seminar, or
presentation by an Oberlin alumni, etc.

DISCUSSION: - This tells users that the message is meant to start a discussion or add to an existing one.

REQUEST: - This tells users the message is searching for something such as advice, resources, networking, etc.

Be Concise--
Please keep your message concise. For discussions, please stay focused on the topic and make your point as briefly as possible. Please keep in mind that long and rambling contributions can disrupt the flow of the discussion. Remember to keep posts relevant to the group.

No One Likes SPAM--
Users should be respectful of everyone’s time. Users should not send personal or private messages on the listserv. Messages should be relevant to the entire OCPDX community. Also, please check your facts before posting a message and avoid copying the list when sending messages to your entire address book.

Be Considerate--
Please be mindful of your language. Paragraph breaks make the message easier to read. Also, avoid writing in all caps because it will appear as if you are yelling.

The OCPDX listserv is a valuable resource to all Oberlin alumni living in the Portland metropolitan area. Together we can build a strong, fun and informative online community.

Thank you!
