The Campus Digest

The Campus Digest is a customizable email that’s sent to faculty, staff, and students from Monday through Friday. It serves as Oberlin’s primary internal communications channel. 

Departments and groups can submit information for publication in the daily Campus Digest by using this online submission form.

Individuals in administrative offices who have been designated as their office’s official Campus Digest content contributor can also submit information directly for publication by logging in to their profile on the Oberlin website.

Anyone on campus may submit an item for publication, provided that its intended audience is the campus community and that the content of the message is not being used for personal or financial gain. Content that does not fall within the mission and guidelines of the institution is subject to removal.

Learn more about the Campus Digest and get answers to frequently asked questions.

Mass emails, also known as email blasts or all-campus emails, are messages sent to all faculty, staff, students, or combinations of those groups, are not permitted except in the case of a critical communications need (e.g., compliance, legal, emergency).

All-campus communications are managed through the Campus Digest tool.

Individual access to campus email lists (studentlist, facultylist, stafflist, etc.) is being phased out. This includes office announcements, event emails, and other related communications.
