On Tuesday, December 16, the City of Monterey City Council honored MIIS President Clara Yu for her accomplishments over the past three years. Later, at the annual faculty and staff holiday party, colleagues paid tribute to Clara and wished Clara and John a fond and regretful farewell. Thanks, Clara, for everything, from all of us!

Appropriate Use of MIIS Faculty and MIIS Staff Email Addresses
Now that we have the capability of posting email messages to all faculty and staff simultaneously through Exchange/Outlook, we would like to suggest some guidelines to make sure that this capability is used to greatest effect to convey those messages that are truly of community-wide interest and importance.
The following guidelines are adapted from those in use at Middlebury. They have had this capability for some time, and these general guidelines are fairly well respected by all (or the sender usually gets swift feedback from colleagues).
* Messages should relate directly to Institute events and activities. Announcements of non-Institute events, fund-raisers, activities, etc. should be handled through other channels. MIIS@work is happy to publish such announcements, and we will continue to use the MIIS Faculty and MIIS Staff emails to publish the latest blog headlines. This gives the reader the opportunity to choose items of interest, and reduces the number of separate email messages people receive in their already-crowded boxes.
* E-mail blasts should be avoided for Institute events already listed on-line or in publications, unless there is significant supplemental information or last-minute changes in location or time.
