• Sending mail:
• I propose we use the grad@cs list very few times per semester to announce formal GRACS business, like:
  • A reminder of GRACS existence/purpose at the start of the year
  • Nominations opening
  • Election instructions
  • Election results
• Other announcements, about events and so forth, would go to csgrad@utlists.
• Also, remember:
  • Use plain text message encoding.
  • For most messages, add a “Reply-To: gracs@cs.utexas.edu” header.
  • Remind people to subscribe to csgrad@utlists on the “start of the year” message.
  • Reming people how to edit their utlists settings in the csgrad@utlists messages.

• Forward any “after you graduate”-type job announcements to Nancy Hatchett in OEA: nph@cs.utexas.edu . She'll tell them to join FoCS (Friends of Computer Science) or post via career services.

• Jobs that are compatible with being an enrolled grad student, like project help, summer jobs, etc., are OK for us to distribute if we want to. (per Patti 23 Mar 2010)
