How to post/get Campus Announcements

perryt — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:25:57 -0400

Marietta College community,

I wanted to take a moment to welcome everyone back to campus for the fall semester, and to remind everyone that the Campus Announcement system remains the primary communication tool. The email broadcast system will reject submissions that should be posted to Campus Announcements ().

This site does not replace campus emails, but it is intended to reduce the number of emails sent to mc- email broadcast lists. Announcements that currently go out to the entire campus�but do not impact the majority of recipients�should be posted at .

All messages to specific groups (e.g., mc-faculty, mc-senior)�and from College representatives such as the President or Campus Police�will continue to be sent via email broadcasts.

You can view the announcements in an Email Client or Web Browser

Individuals can subscribe to the site's RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed. (Learn more about this option by viewing Subscribe to Announcements.)

You can post announcements to Departmental and Group Web Pages

Messages posted by departments and student organizations can be featured automatically on a group's College web page, reducing the time and resources needed to update web content. (View the Campus Groups page to see if your group has an account. To request an account, email webadmin@marietta.edu.)

This forum is intended to expand communication beyond traditional email with announcements appearing on:

-- the College home page,

-- the MyMC Portal

-- featured pages on the College site (e.g., Fine Arts), and

-- this site, where you can view the most recent posts or view the latest announcements, organized by topic, including Academic Seminars and Athletics/Recreation.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule an appointment to walk through the process of posting or subscribing to this site, please email webadmin@marietta.edu.
