Several Listserv lists exist for employees and approved student organizations to send event announcements and notices to subscribers.
ListServ is a commercial software product in use at Hamilton to efficiently create and maintain large email mailing lists. Listserv lists best serve the purpose of internal group messaging, such as messages to members of a department, class, or student organization.
Because Listserv lists are voluntary they are no longer be used to send Official College Emails such as formal academic policies, calendars, and other essential or required institutional communications from College divisions/departments. Students and employees may not opt out of receiving official college emails; however, the College will carefully curate these messages to minimize email traffic.

In the body of the message, type the following on the first line: subscribe listname First Last (replacing “First Last” with your first and last name). (see list of names)

Digest Mode
Listserv offers many options for managing the behavior of subscribed lists. One of the most popular settings is Digest Mode. When activated for your subscription, Listserv collects all messages sent to that list and delivers them to you in a single message containing a table of contents followed by the full text of each message.
The digest message for Hamilton’s mass mailing lists (e.g. events-all, notices-all, etc.) is sent each day at 4:30 p.m. Private lists (i.e., those for student organizations or departments) are sent at 12 a.m. by default.
