  Request an email listserv

  To request a transfer of ownership for your department's existing listserv, the designated contact (list owner) for the said listserv should contact the Help Desk requesting its transfer to the new designated contact within your department. If the original list owner is no longer employed by the university, be sure to inform the Help Desk when contacting them.

  For more information on listserv features or help, you may contact the Help Desk or visit Help Desk Listserv page for how-tos and tips.

  See examples of departmental newsletters to send using a listserv.

• Media interviews

  Faculty are encouraged to accept invitations for media interviews on stories and news within their scholarly expertise, i.e. request for a professor of political science professor to comment on the latest election results.

  Media interviews are a great and free promotional outlet for the university, college and the faculty member's body of work. One Christian Science Monitor interview/article garnered more than 5,000,000 views, roughly equivalent to about $4,300 in advertising dollars.

  Media training is available by appointment, free of charge, by the Office of Marketing and Communications.
