Texting

Did you recently receive a text from us? If so, hello! We have launched a SMS platform to share University of La Verne news and events and connect with our alumni and friends.

If you have any other questions, please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement at (909) 448-4665.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

We are texting as a way to keep in touch with an increasingly busy population that prefers the immediacy of texting over long form messaging. We realize that many alumni will still prefer email, phone, and mail communications, and you can opt out of texting at any time.

Answer

The best way to get added to the text list is by ensuring sure we have your correct cell phone number on file. You may update your contact information. *By providing your phone number, you agree to receive text messages from the University of La Verne. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.*
