Use of College Listservs

The college maintains these email distribution lists for employees:

Distribution Type	Email Address
Employee email	allnet@albright.edu
Employee Community email	community@albright.edu
Faculty emails	faculty-discussion@albright.edu faculty-notices@albright.edu

Employee email: allnet@albright.edu

Email sent to allnet goes to every employee of Albright College. It is reserved for college business, communications of importance to the broader Albright community, and information that helps us to do our jobs. This includes information about college programs and events, notifications of policies and procedures, emergency information, cancellations, HR information, messages from the president, etc. All faculty, administrators and support staff are automatically subscribed to allnet@albright.edu and may not unsubscribe. Since everyone receives allnet messages, please do not send the same message to allnet and another list. Please note that allnet messages are not sent to students.

Employee Community email: community@albright.edu

This is a voluntary, bulletin board-type listserv designed to build community on campus and provide a forum for information and useful news that is not essential college business. Information posted here may include announcements such as a birth or death in an employee’s family, tickets to give away, items for sale, notices about non-Albright volunteer or charity opportunities, etc. Of note, if you’re including images with your message, please be sensitive to their size in order to ease strain on our servers.

Additionally, due to its personal nature, information on a death in a faculty or staff member’s family should be sent to the community by a designee in the employee’s department. If you’re writing to inform the college community about a death in an employee’s family, please make sure you have your colleague’s approval before the information is distributed and made public; it is also helpful to include an address where cards may be sent.

You are automatically subscribed to community@albright.edu, but you may unsubscribe by contacting clientservices@albright.edu.

Faculty emails: faculty-discussion@albright.edu or faculty-notices@albright.edu

The faculty-discussion list is meant to provide a space for faculty to discuss a wide range of topics, including policy proposals and governance matters. Employees with faculty status are enrolled in this list, including all full-time and part-time faculty currently on contract with the College, faculty presently on term administrative appointments, full-time faculty on leave or in phased retirement, and adjunct faculty who are currently teaching a course.

The faculty-notices list is meant for announcements and notices, such as meeting agendas, minutes, announcements about student advising, professional development events, and other information of interest for faculty. The membership of this list includes all faculty as described above in addition to Cabinet members and their administrative assistant(s), staff in various administrative offices that support student or faculty work, building administrative assistants, and staff who teach on a regular basis.

Participation in these listservs is voluntary. Faculty are automatically enrolled but may unsubscribe by contacting clientservices@albright.edu. Please contact the Faculty Chair if you think you should be enrolled in one of these faculty listservs but are not currently subscribed.
