Welcome to the University of Colorado Faculty and Staff Newsletter. While its development is a work in progress, we're now publishing weekly. The payoff: You'll receive systemwide news and information — more of it — more frequently.
We need your help. What would you like to see here? What could you do without? Keep in mind that we're working to reach the entire university community, so we're not looking to replicate communications from the campus, college, school, department or unit levels.
It's easy to see from online traffic reports that our People section is among the most popular. We like it, too. Maybe you work with someone who has news that's worth sharing with colleagues throughout CU. Perhaps that someone is you. Let us know in an e-mail. For any and all news items that you'd like to see shared with the university community, please submit them to Jay.Dedrick@cu.edu.
As always, we invite you to offer feedback — comments, criticisms — at newsletter@cu.edu. Your suggestions will be critical to the evolution of this site. We want to be a vital information source and an inviting place for faculty and staff to gather virtually for the exchange of ideas.
The easiest way to get that started? Send a letter to the editor. The Faculty and Staff Newsletter welcomes letters from current or retired CU faculty and staff about issues of interest to the university community. Please send to this address, newsletter@cu.edu, and indicate "Letter to the Editor" in the subject line, so we'll know you're submitting your writing for publication.
Our letter submission guidelines: Please be concise: Letters 150 words or less are preferred. Submissions may be edited for length, style and clarity. Letters must be signed; anonymous submissions won't be considered. Please send letters to the editor to newsletter@cu.edu.
So take a look at this week's issue. Then let's talk.
