Advisees Mailing Lists
Email lists for advisee by faculty member are also automatically generated daily. These lists are named according to the faculty member who is the advisor, using the faculty member's preferred firstname and lastname, in the form firstname.lastname.advisees@kenyon.edu.
For example, the list of all students who have John Idoine as advisor are found in john.idoine.advisees@kenyon.edu.
These lists are generated from the Human Resources data in the Banner administrative database. The "preferred firstname" is actually a field in this database, and it is not necessarily the same as the "firstname" field. For example, William Klein's preferred first name is Bill, so the list of all students who have Bill Klein as advisor are found in bill.klein.advisees@kenyon.edu NOT william.klein.advisees@kenyon.edu.
In another example, Mary Fennessy prefers to use Siobhan, her middle name, so "Siobhan" is designated in the databases as her "preferred firstname" and her advisees can be reached via siobhan.fennessy.advisees@kenyon.edu.
If a faculty member determines that the current "preferred firstname" is not preferred, please contact Human Resources (email: hr@kenyon.edu or 5173) for changes.
