Project Communications
The SIS Enhancement Initiative (SEI) will span multiple years and phases, impacting various audiences in different ways. SEI governance will constantly communicate throughout several regular meetings and working sessions. We will strive to keep everyone in the Vassar community informed about relevant updates as they arise. While communication methods may evolve, you can expect to stay updated through the following channels.
News & Updates Page
An archive of emails and articles is available on the home page of the project site and on the News & Updates page. All emails sent to distribution lists will be included in the archive, while direct emails to individuals or small groups will be excluded to avoid clutter. Informational articles will also be posted on this page, which includes content filters for easier browsing. This page should be your primary resource for staying updated on the SIS Enhancement Initiative.
We will keep you updated through direct emails and occasional newsletters, targeting relevant audiences to reduce email fatigue. Large distribution lists (e.g., “All,” “Students”) will be used sparingly for important updates and events, while smaller lists will send more frequent, personalized messages. Expect emails from the SIS Enhancement Initiative team, champions on your team, and related offices.
Town Halls
We’ll host virtual Town Halls open to everyone, where you can learn about the project, share feedback, and ask questions. While we plan to hold these events quarterly, the schedule may change as the project progresses. You’ll receive invitations via email.
Road Shows
The SIS Enhancement Initiative team will visit different offices and groups throughout the project, with plans to visit a new area each month. These events will focus on your group and provide a valuable opportunity to discuss specifics relevant to your area. We will coordinate with your office or group to schedule our visit at a convenient time.
Digital Signage & Print Materials
We’ll distribute a mix of various digital signs and print materials to share timely updates, promote upcoming events, call for feedback, and more.
Our Communications Commitment
From our research, we know that our community strongly values staying informed about the project. We’ve taken this feedback to heart and will strive to balance keeping you updated without overwhelming you with messages. If you have any suggestions for improving our communications, please share your feedback with us.
