Dear Colleagues,

We hope you have found our series of notes about the core functions of our school to be helpful.

This message wraps up the series of notes from the Dean’s Cabinet and shares an overview of the school-wide communication channels that we use to keep the community informed of updates, events, and important information.

Emails

Urgent Messages: If there is an urgent message impacting the entire school, we will send an email to all members of our community as soon as possible.

SPH Today: This is our main internal email newsletter, sent on weekdays to all faculty, staff, and students. It covers important announcements and events. If you only read one email from us, make it this one! If you are not receiving SPH Today, please reach out to Michael Saunders, director of editorial content (msaunder@bu.edu).

SPH This Week: Our weekly, externally facing email newsletter sent Sunday mornings that covers school-wide news, profiles, and research.

Other newsletters include those at the academic department level, as well as newsletters from school offices (e.g. Graduate Student Life, Career and Practicum, DEIJ & Wellness, etc.)
