Reduce Email Fatigue
Best practices for communicating with the College of Health Community
Email is still one of the easiest and most direct ways to communicate with one another.
However, please think carefully about sending group emails and make sure only those who need the information are included.
Please note that the below faculty/staff lists should not include students. Communicating with students should only be done through the appropriate student-only listservs.
