Abstract
The Naval Postgraduate School Alumni Association is a professional group
consisting of graduates from the Postgraduate School. The Alumni Association is
a self supporting entity that is not part of the administrative structure of the school.
The Alumni Association supports itself through membership fees paid by
graduates who join the association. The administrative work required to run the
association is accomplished through a part-time employee and volunteers.
Until recently, the Alumni Association was unorganized and lacked a firm
plan of action to establish itself with the School's graduates and to increase its
membership base. Records of graduates were located in various locations and in
different formats which made tracking and contacting alumni an extremely time
consuming operation. This thesis develops a database management system for the
Naval Postgraduate School Alumni Association. This system provides a
standardized format for storing data and tracking alumni. It also performs the time consuming accounting and billing functions associated with the Association's
membership management. This thesis provides an outline covering the Alumni
Association's system requirements analysis and design methodology. The system
was written using dBASE IV, version 1.1.
