Avenues to Success Notes

Why do you charge for a subscription?

Nothing is free!

When you enroll to receive "free" daily quotes, they are usually loaded with advertisements. They can be for additional services from the source, or solicitations for another vendor's products. As we all know, that is how the service is paid for.

A feature of our service is there are no advertisements sent along with the emails. We try to keep them short, easy to read and contain no clutter. Besides, our subscribers get enough email containing ads.

Another benefit of no ads is that it decreases the chance of being filtered as spam.

Avenues to Success also helps sponsors with their programs for students by returning a significant portion of the subscription price to them. This money provides is a means for the organization to recover its costs promoting Avenues and use the balance to support their own student programs. This leaves a small portion for us to pay the bills (hopefully).

Ohio University Student Alumni Board

Ohio University Student Alumni Board came on board as a Sponsor in the Spring of 2006.

The Student Alumni Board (SAB) is one of several outstanding student organizations at Ohio University. The Board was established  in 1978 with intentions to enhance student and alumni relations. SAB provides a variety of services to make the University at large aware of the Ohio University Alumni Association and to encourage students to participate in the educational and social functions of the Student Alumni Board.
All of this is made possible by the diverse, creative, hard-working members of the Board, and the outstanding support we receive from the staff at Konneker Alumni Center. Together they bridge the gap between Ohio University students and its alumni.
