There have been some changes to the CAMPUSMAIL system in the past year and we continue to plan for further improvements.
What is CAMPUSMAIL?
- CAMPUSMAIL is the official email distribution system of the college.
- Your message can be sent to all employees or only faculty.
What kinds of messages can go in CAMPUSMAIL?
- Your message should be related to Hope College events or members of the Hope College community.
- Messages must come for a faculty or staff Hope College email account (@hope.edu).
- On occasion the distributor may decline to send the proposed message. If this is the case, the sender will be contacted.
When are CAMPUSMAIL messages sent?
- Messages are sent three (3) times per day, Monday – Friday.
- If your message requires immediate distribution, please call Public Affairs and Marketing at x7860 and ask for Julie Huisingh.
- If a message is necessary over the weekend, please CC: to Julie Huisingh (huisingh@hope.edu).
I’m ready to send a CAMPUSMAIL message – what’s next?
- Compose your message and ask a colleague to review the text for clarity, typos, dates/times.
- Your message should be included in the body and not as an attachment. Attachments can slow or even stop the distribution.
Subject: Choose a subject that describes the message
First line of body – distribution instructions:
Send to Faculty or Send to All Employees, etc.
Second line of body – heading:
CAMPUSMAIL DISTRIBUTION (From Professor Jane Doe)
How do I communicate with the student body?
- CAMPUSMAIL is only used for student messages for events or incidents affecting all or most of the student body (e.g., safety alert, snow day, etc.)
- General announcements can be posted on KnowHope by sending them to knowhope@hope.edu. KnowHope announcements are posted for approximately 48 hours.
- The Registrar’s Office can assist with sending messages to students identified by targeted groups (e.g., students by course, students by class/cohort, students by major/minor, etc.)
- Visit the STUDENTMAIL site for more information about sending to the student body.
If you have any questions about CAMPUSMAIL or KnowHope, please contact Julie Huisingh (huisingh@hope.edu) or Lynne Powe (powe@hope.edu). We look forward to working with you!
