Link of the Month

Each month we highlight an online mailing list or website. Frequently the link is associated with UNT.

announce.unt.edu

The weekly digest of UNT announcements and events that used to be sent via GroupWise has been replaced by a new website: announce.unt.edu 

Announce.unt.edu provides faculty and staff with an efficient and timely electronic way to communicate about university business, issues and events. Topics include:

Administration
Annual University Events
Arts and Entertainment
Awards, Receptions and Memorials
Community and Volunteer Opportunities
Conferences, Presentations and Training
Miscellaneous
Process, Policy and Procedure
Promotions, Contests and Menus
Research, Grants and Fellowships
Sports, Health and Fitness
Surplus for University Use
UNT Spirit and Student Events

As described in the October 22 InHouse article announcing the website, the idea behind announce.unt.edu is that campus departments can communicate their announcements to others without sending campus-wide e-mail. Faculty and staff members, using their UNT EUID, can add announcements or events to the system in one or more of the topic categories listed above.

You also can subscribe to receive feeds of announce.unt.edu categories by using any RSS enabled web page or RSS software. When the university completes its migration to Microsoft Outlook for e-mail service, faculty and staff will be able to subscribe to the categories they want to know about and announce.unt.edu announcements and events will arrive in their inboxes like regular e-mail.

Items entered to be added to announce.unt.edu will be accepted for posting or denied by a moderator. Items that are not properly categorized will be re-categorized and items that are not related to UNT will not be accepted for posting. University-related events include student events.

Examples of items that are not university related are:

• Announcements about personal items for sale
• Events off campus that have no relation to UNT.

Stay informed!
