GPIA Listservs

The GPIA listservs are the main forum for communication of information about events and issues, important program announcements, and announcements of jobs and internships.  All students are very strongly encouraged to join at least the GPIA listserv. Since the merger of Milano and GPIA in July 2010, Milano students also contribute to the Squibslist and Community listservs.

GPIA - is the main GPIA communications list and is reserved for communications of educational and professional matters. This includes notifications from the administration about registration, courses, GPIA sponsored events, and other program related announcements. This also includes internship and job announcements as well as events in New York that subscribers to the list feel would be relevant to GPIA. Every current student and faculty member should be subscribed to this list. 

Squibslist - is where subscribers can post announcements about apartments, and books for sale or to trade.  It is like a classifieds section minus jobs. 

Community - is the listserv for everything else; for instance, discussions about current events or debates about what is going on with The New School, the program and in the world. This is also the place where you should send news articles that you would like to share with everyone.

When you are ready to send a message:

NOTES:

1. You must send your mail from the address that is subscribed to GPIA, otherwise it will reject the message as being from a “non-member.” This feature prevents us from receiving spam from outside sources through the listserv.

2. Yahoo occasionally rejects emails that are sent with more than 500 recipients. Since the GPIA listserv has more than 500 recipients, messages are sometimes not delivered to yahoo email addresses! We therefore strongly encourage to use alternative email providers to subscribe to the GPIA listserv (e.g. your New School email account).

Majordomo is a software program that is used to manage mailing lists. It is not a person, so it must be communicated with according to strict rules! The command must begin the first line of the message area, and you must leave the subject blank (as above). Never use the majordomo address when you want to send mail to an individual or to the list serve itself. For more information see here.

 

Unfortunately, the New School list hosting services do not include automatic digest format. Several people have requested this feature, and these suggestions have been passed along, but for the moment it is not possible to receive a weekly digest of mail sent to GPIA. The GPIA Listserv is an unmoderated list! Please use common sense, courtesy, and discretion in sending announcements, comments, and responses to the list. Users who act irresponsibly or illegally (see here) are subject to removal from the list.
