Communicating with Old Collegians
The OCA Committee communicates with its members through a wide range of channels. Some of these are exclusively for Old Collegians via the Communications and Engagement team, while others incorporate OCA news into publications sent to the whole PLC community.
OCA Connect
A quarterly, newsletter sent electronically to OCA members. Content is collected and prepared by the Committee and includes a message from the President, profiles of OCA members, general OCA member news (e.g. engagements, marriages, births etc), and details of past and future OCA events. The Communications and Engagement team assists with final proofing and arranges printing and distribution. The President is sent a copy to approve.
Black Watch Tartan Magazine
PLC publishes two Black Watch Tartan Magazine editions each year. A number of pages are devoted to Old Collegians including news of Old Collegians, the OCA Report written by the President, as well as promotion of OCA events. In 2019 the Black Diamonds initiative, developed by Shannon Lovelady - PLC Archivist, was launched in the magazine as part of the 100 Year Celebrations of the OCA. It is planned to profile one Black Diamond in each edition going forward.
Social Media
The OCA Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages are managed by the Office of Communications and Engagement. PLC OCA regularly uses these social media accounts to keep the OCA community informed about events and achievements of alumni members. Find us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. @plcoca
