Listserv

The Honors College administers two listservs for the general Honors student body: "Honors" and "Eclectic Bits". Each list provides a quick and convenient means of keeping up-to-date of all the latest information of interest to Honors students. Listserv bulletins will be posted daily or weekly by Honors College staff and can be retrieved from your personal electronic mail account. Honors students automatically subscribe to the "Honors" listserv when they officially join and/or update their Honors status on-line each semester. Failure to officially join Honors or update Honors status each semester results in cancellation of the "Honors" listserv subscription for that semester. The "Eclectic_Bits" listserv is optional and students may choose to subscribe and may cancel the subscription at any time.

What kind of information is provided via the "Honors" listserv?
These are messages that originate in The Honors College, such as information about:

• Honors Classes
• Honors-sponsored events
• Honors Student Council
• Honors Forum Lunches
• Undergraduate Research Grant Program
• Honors Five-Star Faculty Award
• reminders about deadlines, policies, or procedures

What kind of information is provided via the Eclectic_Bits listserv?
These are messages that originate outside of The Honors College and may be of broad, general interest to Honors students, such as information about:

• internships, research, and employment opportunities
• scholarship opportunities
• new non-Honors course offerings, seminars, lectures, and colloquia
• study abroad program
• advising opportunities in other colleges
• reminders about deadlines, policies, or procedures
• volunteer or community service opportunities
• other information of general interest to the UA Honors community.

How do I subscribe to the "Eclectic_Bits" listserv?

• Send an e-mail message to: listserv@listserv.arizona.edu
• Leave the subject line blank and in the body of the message type:

Are there useful listserv commands that I can use to customize my subscription?

Yes. Here are several useful commands that you can mail to listserv@listserv.arizona.edu. Using the "Eclectic Bits" list as an example, put the commands in the body of the message and leave the subject line blank (as described above).

• set Eclectic_Bits digest (bundles and delivers a day's mail in one message)
• set Eclectic_Bits nomail (stops the messages temporarily)
• set Eclectic_Bits mail (starts the messages)
