The faculty groups are:

Faculty-Adjunct: All adjunct faculty
Faculty-Retiree: All retired faculty

Unofficial Business Communication Methods

DUSell – This is a voluntary list that was created to provide an opportunity for any member of the Drury community to post items for sale. Any member of the Drury community (faculty, staff or student) may be a part of the list. To add your email address to this list, please visit the DUSell sign-up form.

In an effort to reserve student email for critical information, new communication guidelines have been established that will be included in both the faculty and staff handbooks.

Guidelines for Emailing Students

  • Only critical, need to know information is to be emailed to students.
  • The following departments will have the ability to send emails to all students.

Departments and “power users” are as follows:

 Department Power User
Academic Affairs Jeff Riggins
Academic Planning Cindy Fiedler
Bookstore Valerie Rains
Drury GO Glori Anne Hedrick
Dean of Students
Facilities
Financial Aid Becky Ahrens
Housing
Human Resources Crystal Ponder

Career Planning

In the event that you have mission-critical information to disseminate to all students, please contact one of the aforementioned departments and request their assistance in disseminating your information.

  • If you would like to communicate non-critical information to students, please utilize the following communication platforms:
    • If you cancel your event, you do not need to send an email. Rather, change the status of your event in D.Cal to “canceled” and everyone will know!
    • D.Calfirst and foremost, please put your event information on D.Cal, the university’s event calendaring system. It can be accessed from your computer or your mobile phone. Students are encouraged to visit D.Cal regularly for all event information. So if you want your event to be seen, put it on D.Cal!
    • Social Media (Facebook, Twitter): 38+ areas of campus have registered sites where you can post a message. Go to www.drury.edu/socialmedia for a list of Drury registered sites and the administrative contact for each.
