Getting Connected

Student groups can make use of several CIS services intended especially to enhance communication. Information about these services is also available in a PDF.

Web Publishing Accounts

To request a web publishing accounts on Brown's web server or to update an existing account, groups must complete an Information Provider Form (in completing the form, you'll need to include the name and e-mail address of Phil O'Hara, the Director of Student Activities). You may also be interested in getting a short URL to give people easier access to your information.

Group Email Addresses

Groups can create "departmental" email addresses so that their organization's can send and receive e-mail as an organization (for example, the Undergraduate Finance Board created a departmental e-mail address for ufb@brown.edu) - the organization can then designate the individual members who have access to the mailbox. Alternatively, departmental e-mail address forms can be used to create an alias that will send all e-mails to one person or a distribution list that will send them to multiple members. New list request/old list change form (in completing the form, you'll need to include the SAO Box # 1930) and instructions to access departmental e-mails are available from CIS.

Membership Listservs

Listservs offer a variety of options to facilitate communicate within an organization or group. An on-line request form, access to existing listserv archives, and instructions for listserv managers are available.
