Welcome to the Alumni Listservs
One of the best ways to stay connected to the Medill alumni community is through our alumni listservs. Listservs operate as electronic mailing lists – anyone who subscribes to a listserv can send and receive messages from other subscribers. You must be subscribed to a listserv in order to post messages to it. It's a great way to have insightful media discussions, learn about or offer job opportunities (including "Hot Jobs" from the Medill Career Services) and get advice from fellow graduates, among other topics.
Subscribing
To subscribe to the listserv, send an e-mail to Alumni Relations specifying your first and last name, e-mail address and list(s) you’d like to join (you may join as many as you’d like):

Sending Messages
Alums use listservs to send and receive information about job leads, source information, apartment listings and event announcements, among other topics. As with any other communication, we ask that you use discretion. (Is this of interest to a wide audience?)
With a few common sense exceptions, Medill does not want to take a role in censoring the listserv. Medill has made an alumni listserv available for the convenience and enjoyment of its alums; we see it as an open community. Bear in mind that Medill has a diverse pool of graduates, who have chosen to enter all types of professions. Please be aware that we do monitor the listserv on a daily basis and do not allow patently offensive, pornographic or illegal postings to the listserv. Alumni who post such material will be taken off the listserv immediately.
