Email Distribution Lists (Dislists)

See our page on public email distribution lists to find out how to email a "group" message to campus groups by using the system-generated public email "dislists." These groups include student groups, college departments, majors/minors, advisees, academic courses.

Archives of the employee-info, student-info, allemp, and allstu mailing lists are available online.

There is a 1 MB size limit on messages sent to most public dislists (messages sent to class mailing lists are limited to 5 MB). If you send very large images or files with complex formatting as attachments to your dislist message, its size may exceed this limit. One alternative is to post the image to your website or a shared folder and create a link to it in the email.

For more information regarding Kenyon's moderated email distribution lists, please refer to the list moderator's guidelines and instructions for moderators.

Allemp and Allstu

The allstu@kenyon.edu and allemp@kenyon.edu dislists are optional and are based on Google Groups discussions.  The maximum message size for these lists is 10 MB. For more information on these lists, see Allemp and Allstu Information,  Join an Optional Email Dis List and Leave an Optional Email Dis List.
