Description:
Bulk Mailing provides campus units with supported options for sending announcements, updates, and targeted communications to large groups of recipients. This service helps departments choose the most appropriate mailing method based on audience, purpose, scale, and communication needs.
Overview Offerings
Available bulk mailing options include Distribution Lists for managed group messaging, Listserv for subscription-based list communication, and eComm for broader institutional or marketing-style communications.
- Distribution Group/List: Best for controlled, one-way or limited group messaging using a single email address for a defined audience.
- M365 Group: Best for collaborative group communication that includes a shared inbox, calendar, file space, and optional Microsoft Teams integration for internal or external collaboration.
- Listserv: Best for subscription-based communications, one-way announcements, or group messaging that may require self-service membership management.
- eComm: Best for high-visibility, large-scale, or institutionally managed communications that may require branding, audience segmentation, and formal communication oversight.
