Greetings PSU
Army ROTC Alumni!
Cory Kline –
President
Some of you have heard from me before, some have no idea who I am. My
name is Cory Kline (Class of ’97) and I’m the current Penn State Army ROTC
Alumni Interest Group President. Your e-mail address has been collected
from the Army ROTC website you registered with or from the PennState
Alumni Association. We’re trying to build a data base of AIG
members. Some of you may or may not have registered with the Army ROTC
website but we’d like to include you in the AIG as well. If you’d rather
not be a part of the AIG, simply e-mail one of us back and we’ll take your name
off the distribution list.
Good news. We’ve got over 50 members in the AIG so we can now go active
once again. This will help out because as an active AIG we’ll receive
some funding from the Alumni Association. Thanks to all of you who were
“actively recruiting” to get members on the books.
The PSU Army ROTC
website has undergone some changes and there is no longer a link to the AIG
page. This is being corrected. Brendan is working to develop a new
page for us. I’m going to have Brendan outline his
plan.
Brendan
Bagley – VP
Hello all – (Class of ‘92) The plan I hope is
relatively simple and short, yet not the requisite 5 paragraphs. Simply
put, the intent is to:
-
Allow future members to
provide us their information (that which exists is not yet properly linked)
-
Allow recently
commissioned grads to ‘get in touch with’ AIG members at their 1st
(or next) assignment
-
Allow current AIG members
to update their information,
-
Allow current AIG members
to reach out to those AIG members nearby to (dare I say) network ...... I have a better term – tailgate.
Within this
intent it is our desire to keep email addresses/contact information
confidential to the website (i.e. the viewer sending this blast does not see
email addresses). Based on our current staff/people/volunteers it has yet
to be determined how quickly these ideas will come to fruition. We may
require the need for a SME (who has the time to work on this). However, first
and foremost, as Cory mentioned, we must reestablish the link to the AIG page
from the PSU ROTC page. I trust that I have provided some insight into
the ‘web plan’.
Ken Herko –
Secretary
As current secretary of the group (Class of ’91 & ’97), my goal for the AIG
will be to maintain e-mail lists, keep current the status of those members
who have provided us information, to maintain a cross list with the Alumni
Association and to support both the President and the Vice President of the
AIG.
The long term goal for this AIG is no different than any of the other groups on
campus, to maintain a link back to Penn State as well as to link forward for
the further common bond of those that have served before us and those that are
graduating to serve in the future. It is a completely voluntary endeavor
and in no way is meant to be intrusive or hostile but to provide a common link
for all those who wish to join the AIG.
Thank you for you attention and patience as we resurrect the AIG and
re-establish the link to
Last note from
Pres Cory:
April 22 is the Blue and White game at PSU with the kick off scheduled for
1400hrs (2pm). Our next AIG meeting will be held in the Cadet Lounge on
the same day. We’ll start off with a meet and greet at 1030hrs. The
formal meeting will be from 1100hrs to 1200 hrs. We’re going to try
(don’t hold me to it) to have a tailgate of our own in the parking lot behind
the Wagner building. More details to follow in the next few weeks.
