--->The WMDigest provides an avenue of communication for faculty and staff at the College of William and Mary. Announcements are posted in myWM and the digest email is distributed each morning around 9:00 AM as a moderated and digested list. This means all announcements are approved by a moderator and combined into one email message that is sent out daily.
To ensure an announcement will appear in the digest on a specific day, it should be posted via the Self Service tab in myWM no later than 8:15 AM of the desired day.
Posting of announcements to the digest is limited to William and Mary faculty and staff and should be College-related/sponsored. Those announcements that do not follow the guidelines below will be rejected.
- Use concise language in the Subject field but be descriptive. (i.e. state the title of a talk or presentation, not just "Department Brownbag."
- Messages should be as short as possible. Detailed information related to an announcement should be posted on a web page and the related URL for more information included in the digest announcement.
- Topics in the digest generally include:
- announcements of workshops, seminars, and meetings
- announcements from HR, Parking, and other College offices
- meeting notes and agendas
- new instructional resources
- general campus service announcements (parking, construction, and utilities)
- special events (College sponsored)
- public service announcements (from W&M Police and Facilities Management)

- Topics such as the following are not acceptable for the digest:
