One thing that had always been stressed here at Dominican is to check your DU email. Check it, check it, check it. Anything from class work to important campus news could be sent to that email address so CHECK IT!
Why then, may I ask, do half the faculty and staff NOT use their Dominican email address? This may just be a silly pet peeve of mine, but I hate it when professors refuse to use their DU address and insist that you send messages to their Yahoo account instead. I understand that when you may have 12 different addresses it can be hard to check them all, but IT offers ways to forward all email to a different account.
I just feel that because students can always find anyone at DU email (through the universal address book on Outlook) and it's the way all us students are required to communicate, faculty and staff should be required to use their DU email.

There have been countless times (well, maybe twice or thrice) when I've looked up and emailed instructors whose information I found on the Dominican website, only to find out that they use Comcast or AOL and even failed to let us know on the syllabus. Thanks, guys!
The technology exists for teachers to set up an email protocol which diverts emails sent to one address to another; therefore, IT should set up a program or implement a system to support this protocol for professors that want it.
I agree with this post and I get especially upset when I send an email to [u]every[/u] email address listed in the syllabus, but still do not get a response.
