RULES FOR USING “IN THE KNOW”

• The purpose of this list is to communicate general faculty-related information to the faculty of Simpson College.  It is meant to augment, not replace, existing communication channels like Campus Pulse or The Simpsonian.  All Simpson faculty are subscribed, as well as some administrators and support staff by request and with the authorization of the dean for academic affairs.
• SUBMITTING ITEMS/DEADLINE:  To submit items, simply send them via e-mail by mid-afternoon the day before to becky.beaman@simpson.edu.  Messages normally will be posted three times weekly (MWF) mornings by the dean’s office.
• GENERAL GUIDELINES:  This list will accept new or reminder items about upcoming events, and NON-emergency campus announcements or notices.  IN THE KNOW will NOT accept classified advertisements (including for sale items, thank you notices), personal notices (like kudos), political op-eds, or events not open to a broad faculty audience.  Please avoid saying “today” or “tomorrow” – instead list the day and date of event.
• WEB URLS/ATTACHMENTS:  If you enclose a URL with a < followed by a > the entire URL will be “clickable.”  If you have trouble, call Missy DeYoung at x1631.  IN THE KNOW will post attachments.  However, please be aware that not all campus users can open attachments.  To address this limitation, please place a copy of the attachment on your web site and include the URL in your announcement.
