Marist Listservs

Listserv is an electronic mailing list that offers an efficient way to disseminate official announcements and information to large numbers of people.  The College maintains three official lists, MARFAC, MARSTAFF, and MAR-STU for the purpose of informing the College community about College events, news, and other issues directly related to College activities and operations. 

The College also provides one list, MARFORUM, for general discussion of interest to subscribed members on the MARFORUM list.  

Purpose 

The purpose of the list(s) at Marist College is to facilitate and disseminate information to eligible members and affiliates of the College.  The person responsible for managing a list is known as the "list owner."  The administration is the list owner of MARFAC, MARSTAFF, and MAR-STU. 

MARFORUM is a self-regulated list and users are expected to abide by College policies.  The College reserves the right to remove users from the MARFORUM list upon request of the FAC.
