CWU Internal Listserves Reduce Internal Spam
   In an effort to reduce internally generated spam e-mail, in 2008 ITS created various e-mail lists for use by departments that need to convey information campuswide on a regular basis.
   The purposes of campus listserves are to help reduce the number of internally generated "spam" e-mails being processed through the system and give users more control over the types of internal (CWU) e-mails they receive.
   All faculty and staff are automatically re-subscribed each September to each of these e-mail listserves. This system is a voluntary "opt out" system where any user can select which topics they are interested in and continue to receive those e-mails. Users not interested in a specific topic can unsubscribe from the list and no longer receive those messages. The yearly opt out is to ensure all Central faculty and staff are aware of all the lists that are available. Users who choose to unsubscribe (opt-out) are able to resubscribe at any time.

   To review the basic descriptions of current listserves available, go to www.cwu.edu/ ~its/listserv. To opt out of (or resubscribe to) any of the listserves go to www.cwu.edu/ ~its/listserv/listserv_management.html.

New Food Choices Offered
   Dining Services has some new and nutritious menu items in the Market Place and Holmes Dining. The Hot Dog Stand and Dreyers Ice Cream venue in the Market Place are now offering baked potatoes with your choice of toppings. Taglianno's Pasta in the Market Place has gluten-free pasta upon request, and all the venues in the Market Place will have whole wheat options on most days. Ask if whole wheat or brown rice is available when ordering. Both the Holmes Dining Room and the Market Place offer oatmeal.
