Posting to Campus News Mailing Lists

Mills College provides news mailing lists so that members of the Mills community can share information with each other. You will not receive these individual messages immediately; rather, they will be delivered in the form of a news digest containing messages sent over the previous 24 hours.

These lists – student-news, faculty-news, staff-news – are meant for news of events, opinions and comments, items for sale, requests for information, etc. Ads for businesses are not permitted.

If you wish to view an archive of all available messages, please visit the link appropriate to your role:

• faculty-news
• staff-news
• student-news  

Below are instructions on how to use these lists:

• You post messages by sending email to student-news@mills.edu, staff-news@mills.edu, or faculty-news@mills.edu.

• You can only post from your mills.edu email address or another email address that you have added to the Mills College database through the Portal.

• Messages should be of reasonable size. In an age of spam, please keep your messages succinct and to the point; that way, they are more likely to be read. Long messages are automatically rejected. If you wish to post a long item, please consider these alternatives:
  
  • If the message  (and related attachments, if any) properly belongs on the official Mills website under an academic or student service area, please contact a departmental web liaison and a relevant page can be created on the website. If you wish to advertise that page on the newslists, you can simply add the URL of the page in your post.
  
  • You can place a long message, and attachments, into your personal web space and reference them by URL in a much smaller message. All members of the Mills community – student, staff, and faculty – are eligible to create personal web pages on people.mills.edu. Go to to the Personal Web Space page for details on how to set up a personal web site.

• Do not reply to a daily digest where your reply includes the entire digest.
