GSE Email Lists FAQ
What are the GSE email lists?
We maintain a number of email lists to facilitate communication within the school. The four main ones are(all end with "@lists.berkeley.edu").
- gse_community
- educationjobs
- gse_exchange
- gse_business (comprised of gse_students, gse_staff and gse_faculty; see below)
The first three GSE lists (gse_community, educationjobs, and gse_exchange) are voluntary, open to the public — not just GSE people — and maintained by automated list server software; you can subscribe and unsubscribe yourself at any time. gse_business and its sub-lists are controlled by the GSE list administrator (new students are added at the beginning of the semester; new employees when notified).
Note that attachments are not allowed on any of our lists
(see List Problems for an explanation).
How do I subscribe/unsubscribe?
If you use an email client program like Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora or the Apple Mail program, the links to the left should automatically start your default email program and compose the appropriate message to subscribe/unsubscribe you from these lists. Make sure the "from" address is the one you want to use and just click "send". If you use a web site to read your email, or you're using a public computer, or the links in the left sidebar do not work for you, write to gse_community-join@lists.berkeley.edu
educationjobs-join@lists.berkeley.edu
gse_exchange-join@lists.berkeley.eduNo subject line or message is needed. You will receive an email asking for confirmation of your request to subscribe.
Be sure to send the message from the email account you wish to subscribe with or unsubscribe from. (To unsubscribe, substitute "leave" for "join".)
You can also subscribe by going to http://lists.berkeley.edu and entering the name of the list. If you wish to receive daily digests of lists, you can choose that option there.
Directions for unsubscribing should also be at the bottom of every message from the gse_community, educationjobs, and gse_exchange lists.
Membership in gse_business is manually maintained (see below).
What are the purposes of the lists?
gse_community is meant for any "message of interest to the education community." Please use this list for your messages unless it is official business that must reach everyone. Commercial messages benefitting an individual or business should go to the gse_exchange list (see below). (gse_community-digest is a compilation of the community messages; it collects all the messages and sends them out as one digest roughly once a week. If you don't need to see the community messages immediately, this might be a preferable way to stay in touch. See http://lists.berkeley.edu.)
educationjobs is for job posting in the education field. Only members can see the postings, but anyone is welcome to lists jobs here. Subscribe by using the links in the sidebar to the left, or writing educationjobs-join@lists.berkeley.edu; no message or subject is needed.. This list is moderated — any messages sent to this list will automatically be redirected to the moderator. If appropriate, the message will be forwarded to the list. (Please don't send listings to the moderator; send directly to educationjobs.)
Also, it's recommended that you avoid late Friday or weekend postings: messages will be moderated at the beginning of the next week and because the list server dates these messages with the origination date—and not the moderation date—some subscribers may miss them if they don't look back a few days in their mail queue.
gse_exchange is for the posting of items/services for sale or rent. Only members see the postings, but anyone in the GSE can submit a message. Subscribe by using the links in the sidebar to the left, or writing gse_exchange-join@lists.berkeley.edu; no message or subject is needed.
gse_business is for messages critical to the mission of the GSE, and is made up of three sub-lists: (There are also two sub-sub-lists for more definition: gse_senatefaculty@lists
- gse_students@lists
- gse_staff@lists
- gse_faculty@lists
gse_deptstaff@lists; again, all ending ".berkeley.edu".)A message sent to gse_business will be sent to all three sub-lists. Please do not send a message to gse_business AND a sub-list, like gse_students; in this case, the students would receive the email twice.
Because email is our primary—and usually, only—means of communication we ask that every GSE student, staff and faculty member be a member of one of these three sub-lists. These lists are meant for official business only.
Membership is maintained by the GSE list administrator. (This is based on information directly relayed to me; please keep me apprised of additions and corrections. New students are added in the Fall with addresses from the BearFacts database and updated weekly.)
The following summarizes who can subscribe and send to the various lists. Members of the gse_business list can also write to any of its sublists, e.g. members of gse_students can write to gse_faculty or gse_deptstaff.

Note that attachments are not allowed on any of our lists
(see List Problems for an explanation).
Individual areas, programs, projects and classes maintain their own lists. These lists may not be updated frequently; check with their administrators. See the list creation page for caveats about using a personal account to make lists for a GSE unit.
