Happy Friday!
We had an alumni board member ask if we could set up an email address so that if anyone in a class for instance emails classof2008@ all the members in that class would receive the email. We use both Education Management and Raiser's Edge for our Alumni Databases (not connected) and use Google as our email platform. Obviously, we do this with our current students so that certain teachers/admin can email for instance students2028@---- and reach the class, but we do not keep alumni emails in our Google platform. Does anyone have experience with this type of request?
My initial thought was to se tup the email in Google for each alumni class and then the alumni Rep. of that class could maintain the email and could copy and paste a spreadsheet and email the class, but this wouldn't allow classmates to leave the “group”. This would also be a lot of additional email traffic on our domain.
Would love advice!
