New Daily E-mail Digest
Beginning Monday, August 16, a new publication, the Daily, will replace the faculty-staff distribution list on the Outlook e-mail system. The electronic newsletter, created by faculty and staff for faculty and staff at Buffalo State, will be distributed via e-mail at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday when the college is open. The deadline for submissions is 3:00 p.m. the previous business day.
All faculty and staff members with a current Buffalo State NT account may submit items for the Daily through a simple online form: www.buffalostate.edu/dailyemail/submit.
The Daily will be sent to all Buffalo State faculty and staff members. Recipients may opt out of the Daily e-mail list at www.buffalostate.edu/collegerelations/dailyoptout.xml.
The Daily will provide a centralized source of information that should be shared with the campus. Official policies and notices will continue to be published in the weekly Bulletin, while faculty and staff achievements will continue to appear in the Insider.
The Daily eliminates the burden of numerous campuswide e-mail messages on the Outlook system. Faculty and staff will continue to have full use of the Outlook system; however, messages to more than 150 people at one time will be blocked.
Official, time-sensitive announcements and emergency notifications may still be sent to the campus via e-mail by the president, a vice president, or the offices of News Services, College Relations, or Computing and Technology Services. Emergency notices also will be placed on the home page of the college Web site.
The Daily provides a timely, cost-efficient source for campus information. We encourage your participation. Please see www.buffalostate.edu/collegerelations/dailyguidelines.xml for a complete list of submission guidelines.
