Title:  How do I facilitate sending an email message to the campus community?

Question:
I would like to send an email message to all or a large portion of the UW
campus community. How do I go about doing that?

Answer:
It is possible to send an email message to a large, pre-defined population
of the UW community. UW Computing & Communications (C&C) offers this
service under very specific conditions that are delineated below.

Messages can be targeted to pre-defined groups or to more specific groups
defined by such criteria as organizational code, occupation class code,
etc. Pre-defined groups include: students, undergraduate students,
graduate students, employees, faculty, staff, or members of the UW
community. We can only send mail to those people who have email addresses
based on their UW NetID. There are people at the UW who choose to use
other mail services, either departmental services or outside services, who
will not be reached.

To prevent these services from being overused, C&C asks that all messages
to large lists of UW community members be pre-approved by someone at the
Vice President or Vice Provost level.
