In order to be a more responsive resource to each other and the College, OLA has initiated a confidential list of member's email addresses. No one is added to the list without prior permission (i.e., the Alumni Office may have your email address, but we won't use it unless you tell us it's okay). People on the list will receive infrequent messages on a variety of topics, e.g. announcements of upcoming OLA events, requests for career, research, or Winter Term assistance from students, any significant campus LGBT news flashes, etc. The list is managed in such a way as to preserve confidentiality. (You won't be able to see other people's name or email address; they won't be able to see yours.) Sign up by sending an email to the address below, asking to be added to the email list.

From time to time students ask for names and contact information of LGBT alumni to request assistance with various topics such as career or employment choices, Winter Term housing leads or internships, or advice on moving to a particular new city after graduation. OLA's confidentiality policy states that we cannot share any of the names on our membership list and we think this is an important policy to maintain. But we also believe OLA's members harbor tremendous resources for students and we'd like to harness as much of that potential as possible. So we now maintain an OLA "out list." If you sign up, the Alumni Office will be able to pass your name on to members of the Oberlin College community for the purposes described above. (The Alumni Association does not share or sell the names of any alumni to parties outside the College.) Sign up by sending an email to the address below, asking to be added to the out list.
