LISTSERV Discussion Lists

LISTSERV® is an email list management software product of L-Soft international, Inc. that is used to facilitate email communication among a group of people who share a common interest. LISTSERV supports the creation, management, and control of e-mail discussion groups, communities, newsletters, and announcement lists for the university community.

Wayne State University operates LISTSERV on the LISTS.WAYNE.EDU host. WSU faculty and staff may establish a list on this host provided that the list is related to academic or administrative activities. Student organizations may also maintain a list if they have a faculty/staff sponsor included as a list owner.
