Re: Mass E-mail to Students, Staff, and Faculty

[Kenneth Arnold <bkarnold () CBU EDU>]

We have various listservs set up to send information to faculty, staff,
faculty/staff, adjuncts,all students, freshmen,
sophomores,juniors,senior, graduate students, etc.  Only certain people
are allowed to send to these listservs.  General announcements to
everyone are sent out from our Communications/Marketing office with
their approval.

We also send emails to select groups of people that are not covered by
the listservs.  Central IT selects the people for the mass email from
our administrative system based on the requirements of the mass email
and sends them out.
