In the interest of keeping our Listserv readable, we’re adding two additional guidelines:

1. All submissions MUST be 150 words or shorter. If a submission is too long, it won’t be included.

2. The maximum length of the email each week is 12 items; it is at the discretion of the VP Communications to select which items are included, but priority is given to departmental associations in the Faculty of Arts and to AUS groups.

Thanks!!

Looking to add a little excitement to your Halloween?

Our Listserv reaches all Arts students on a weekly basis. Have an event you’d like posted? Here’s what you need to know.

1. Listserv submissions are due each FRIDAY at NOON.

2. The Listserv is mailed to students on SUNDAY evenings.

3. Email your submissions to Liz McLaughlin, AUS VP Communications, at communications@ausmcgill.com. Make the subject line read “LISTSERV” and include only the text of the message you’d like included.

4. Events can be listed several weeks in a row, up to a maximum of three weeks. IMPORTANT: If you’d like your event listed for multiple weeks, please NOTE THIS in the SUBJECT LINE of your email.

5. Keep submissions at a reasonable length; ideally, notices should be short blurbs containing contact information that students can use to obtain more details. Items that are too long may be edited by the VP Communications.

6. Inclusion or exclusion of any items on the Listserv is at the discretion of the VP Communications — reasons for exclusion may include irrelevance, length, or amount of time until event. Please email communications@ausmcgill.com with any questions about inclusion of items on the Listserv.

A whole raft of new volunteer positions just became available! Check your McGill email for a Listserv entitled “Volunteer opportunities”, or come to our office in the basement of Leacock (inside the Arts Lounge; Leacock B12) and pick up a brochure.
