E-MAIL: SPJ president to send messages
Dear Students:
In order to have SPJ and extracurricular items get to you in a timely
manner, you will soon start seeing e-mail messages on this, the [j_school]
school list for all students, from SPJ Class President, Rebecca Castillo.
This marks the first time that a student has been given permission to post
to the list (otherwise, only certain administrators were able to do so).
It’s a test run and we will decide about extending it to future presidents
depending on how this goes.
Rebecca is aware of the need for judicious use of the list and will likely
average one message a week or so. I am encouraging her and other students
who have less pressing items to share (including summer housing
requests/shares) to use the Ten Month Beat blog, run by Ed Krayewski
items to the DOS blog via dos@jrn.columbia.edu
A reminder from an August 2005 DOS blog posting intended for admin folks
about the subject lines you should look for
