Here are some useful links for students unfamiliar with their eid@my.utexas.edu email address:

A knowledge article with common FAQs is available on how to access official email.
Step-by-step guides are available for students needing assistance with forwarding their official emails to other email addresses.

The RTF Department does not have or maintain contact lists for undergraduates.
Instead of direct email, we employ UT's official group email system, EMMA. This regulated system is not intended for casual correspondence and should be used only when the email content impacts a significant percentage of recipients within the UT community (or in our case, within the RTF community).
In order to avoid spamming our students, we collect information into e-newsletters that we send through EMMA semi-regularly (3–5 times a semester). These e-newsletters take some time to build (1-3 days) and then, once ready, require an additional 24-hours advanced approval from the college. They typically start out with a message, often from the Chair, and are followed by hyperlinked listings of upcoming events, deadlines, and opportunities.
The content of EMMA emails is intended for strictly RTF-related business: we leave other messaging from the College and University to the appropriate official channels.
We also encourage undergraduates to subscribe to our social media channels and to The Hub.

Reach out to Cindy McCreery and Mariana Medina at least a week in advance of if you need to communicate with undergraduates.
Mariana can add the information to a planned e-newsletter and/or to social media posts.
After Mariana creates an e-newsletter and has the Chair's approval, she will schedule its delivery for the following business day or later. Before it can go out, it first will require a gate-keeping approval by Moody College's Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Kathleen Mabley, at least 24-hours in advance.

The university uses a system called Eloqua (soon to be replaced by SalesForce Marketing System) to communicate via email with alumni and friends of the college. This system is connected to the alumni database,SPUR (formerly VIP), and should be used only when the email content impacts a significant percentage of recipients.
The RTF graduate coordinator maintains a database/listservs of alumni from the graduate program
We encourage our alumni to follow us on social media to learn about events and opportunities.

Check in with the RTF Chair. Both Moody College Marketing team and Moody College Development office can send Eloqua emails.
