Email Digest
After concerns over the effectiveness of the “Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Info” emails was brought up among several university constituencies, the Digital Communications team in the office of University Communications & Marketing proposed a solution that was approved by the Executive Council. The solution will streamline and automate the majority of campus announcements, updates, corrections, etc. that are sent out via the “Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Info” email address.
The proposed solution is to send out a twice-weekly email digest every Monday & Thursday morning at 11:00am. This email will come from a new “Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Digest” email address (digest@una.edu) that people are not used to ignoring, and will contain all requested announcements summarized in one email. The first thing seen in the email is a “table of contents” allowing users to quickly find topics of interest. If there are no topics that pertain to them, they can simply move on to other emails. Next is a summary of the actual announcements along with a link to more details on a newly created Announcements hub on our website. The idea of still sending a twice-weekly email AND posting to the website is to maximize how many people can see these announcements.
