An unaffiliated organization recently sent unsolicited emails to West Point graduates, raising concerns about how contact information was obtained. WPAOG provides password-protected Grad-to-Grad access through Find A Grad and Sallyport solely to support one-to-one communication aligned with its mission. Mass outreach violates platform terms, undermines trust, and is being addressed directly with the organization and WPAOG counsel. In response, we have strengthened both platforms by removing visible email addresses and requiring blind, in-platform messaging. We remain committed to enabling graduate connections while protecting privacy, maintaining responsible stewardship of information, and welcoming continued questions, concerns, suggestions, and partnership from graduates everywhere.

Some traditions never get old. They just get another whale. Our newest Vineyard Vines tee puts a playful spin on West Point’s Long Gray Line with the Long Whale Line—a formation of familiar Vineyard Vines whales dressed as cadets, soldiers and Old Grads. Even better, the design brings back whales from some of our favorite and most popular Vineyard Vines styles over the years.
