The system reaches all students enrolled&nbsp;in each class year. Please note that listserv membership is updated on or around July 1 for the coming academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the following addresses to reach each class for class-specific information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"mailto:firstyear@lists.bates.edu\">firstyear@lists.bates.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"mailto:sophomore@lists.bates.edu\">sophomore@lists.bates.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"mailto:junior@lists.bates.edu\">junior@lists.bates.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"mailto:senior@lists.bates.edu\">senior@lists.bates.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br>Class listserv users must observe the following guidelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Listserv messages must be class-specific or specifically relevant to students in that particular class year.

Friday evening and weekend messages are generally sent on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 No more than two announcements are allowed per event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The announcement must include the date, time and location of the event, and a one paragraph explanation or biography (similar to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Today)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The subject line must clearly identify the nature of the event and the sponsoring organization or department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The message may not be larger than 100KB. &nbsp;This makes it difficult to include images or attached files, unless they are generally about 75KB, or smaller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Policies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list policy-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/campus-life-event-policy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"9471\">Campus Life Event Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/guest-policy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"10322\">Campus Life Guest Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/class-list-policy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1209\">Class Listserv Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/contracts\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6839\">Contracts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/copyright\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6827\">Copyright and Screenings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/digital-signage\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6834\">Digital Signage (TV Screen Promotion)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/fundraising\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6187\">Fundraising Policy for Students<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/conference\/college-policies\/lake-andrews-stewardship-and-use-policy\/\">Lake Andrews Stewardship and Use Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/travel\/\">Off-Campus Travel Request and Approval Process<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/social-media\/\">Social Media Policy and Guidelines<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/speakers-performers-and-protests\/\">Speakers, Performers, and Protests<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/policies\/consent-and-waiver\/\">Student Activities and Travel Consent and Waiver Agreement<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Club &amp;
