A New Vehicle for CHSS News

In September, the college debuted its new newsletter, the CHSS Digest, designed to bring announcements, deadlines, instructional resources, research updates, and well-being information to the faculty and staff of the college.

The newsletter idea grew from a regular digest posted by the CHSS Dean’s Office beginning in March, 2020, when Mason joined campuses nationwide in pivoting to online operations. The original digest was intended to share important information centered on teaching to ensure that correct and consistent messages were being sent during a tumultuous time.

Through the spring and summer, the digest was used to provide information on a variety of topics, and this fall, it was recast into a newsletter format, utilizing a newsletter-building tool developed by the CHSSWeb team.

The tool is easy to use and pulls content from the CHSSWeb system to create an attractive newsletter with a flexible design.

The previous issues of the newsletter reside on the CHSS website, for easy reference.

The newsletter tool is available to all CHSS departments and programs, and is a great conduit for bringing your news to your faculty, alumni, or anyone you want to keep in the loop. A quick conversation with the CHSSWeb team is all it takes to make a first step towards better communication!
