The Events List listserv is a resource through which student organizations, university departments and others can let the campus know of upcoming events.

There are a few things to remember when using the list:

1. Only messages related to or of interest to Tulane University community members, organizations, departments, etc. will be posted on the Events List.

2. Sending a message to the list does not guarantee that the message will appear on the Events List.

3. The Events List goes out to subscribers at midnight. Therefore, messages and submissions should be sent to the list, or the list owner, at least the day before the scheduled event. In order to ensure a message is read by subscribers BEFORE the event, send messages two or more days in advance. Events should always be sent before 3 p.m. for them to appear on the next day's list.

4. The Events List appears Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the academic year. It appears sporadically during vacation and the summer. If your event will be on a Monday, make sure to submit it Friday afternoon before 3 p.m. for it to appear on the Saturday list.

5. Events can be sent to the list or to the list owner. No attachments can be sent on the list. Also, plain text messages work best. Do not use bold text, italics, color, images, etc. on messages to be sent to the events list.

6. Messages can only run three times on the list. If you want your message to appear multiple times, you must resend the message to the list owner each time you wish for it to appear. The listserv software does not allow a message to run two days in a row so skip a few days before requesting your message be reposted.

7. The list owner does not have information about the events posted on the list. Those submitting postings must include contact information in their message.

8. Keep messages short! Messages may be edited for style or length.
