The National Resource Center hosts one listserv (NRC-list) designed to bring together a broad cross-section of faculty and academic administrators to discuss college transitions as well as interventions designed to maximize student success through those transitions.

To post a message to our listserv, you must be a subscriber to the list. Once subscribed, to post (over email), send your message to NRC-LIST@listserv.sc.edu. 

After you've submitted a post, a member of the NRC team will review and approve/reject the message for posting. As long as your content is appropriate for posting on the listserv (as detailed in the 'Appropriate content' section below) then you should expect for your message to be approved for posting.

Messages to list vs. messages to individuals
Use the listserv to post or respond to messages that have a broad appeal to other list subscribers.

Try to avoid using the list for personal messages, as all responses to listserv posts are routed to the NRC for approval before they're sent out to all subscribers.

The REPLY button addresses your message to the entire list
To send your message to a specific person, you will need to retype that person's address in the TO field when you reply. Otherwise, your reply intended for a specific individual will go to the NRC team for approval before it's sent out to all subscribers.

When you hit the REPLY button, always check the TO field, to make sure your message is going to the right place. Some email software has small TO and FROM fields, so you cannot see all the addressees without checking further into the field. While you're at it, check the "CC" and "BC" fields on your reply to make sure they do not contain wrong information.

These listservs are an appropriate venue for posting inquiries and soliciting responses to questions about practices, resources, and strategies related to student transitions.

Our listservs are not intended for the promotion of any products, goods, services, or events that are not sponsored by the Center. Subscribers should, therefore, refrain from posting advertisements of products or services in which they have a direct or indirect financial interest. We invite you to spread the word about your service or product through our conference exhibitions and sponsorships.

For more information about exhibiting at Center conferences, please reach out to our conference email at FYEConf@mailbox.sc.edu.

For information about sponsorship or questions about the Center listserv, please reach out to FYE@mailbox.sc.edu.

Once you push the SEND button, you can't get it back.

Be kind when writing email. People cannot see your facial expressions, so something you intended as humorous may not be received in kind.

Don't write in all capital letters, as this is perceived as "email shouting."

Don't send "too many" messages. Participate, but don't overwhelm your colleagues with long or multiple emails.
