Department of Statistics Mailing Lists
The Department of Statistics manages and communicates with its members via the following campus mailing lists:
- stat-facstaff@lists.illinois.edu (all current Stat faculty & staff)
- stat-trackfaculty@lists.illinois.edu (all tenured and tenure-track Stat faculty)
- stat-specialized@lists.illinois.edu (all Stat instructors, lecturers, and specialized faculty members)
- stat-staff@lists.illinois.edu (members of Stat staff & administration, and academic professionals)
- stat-phd@lists.illinois.edu (all Stat PhD students)
- stat-masters@lists.illinois.edu (all Stat MS students)
- stat-majors@lists.illinois.edu (all Stat majors)
When you join the department, you are automatically added to all relevant lists and have posting privileges to any lists you are added to. These mailing lists can and should be used to disperse internal communications within the department. (Note: Posts to some mailing lists are moderated to ensure responsible usage.)
Using these lists is simple: using your preferred emailing application (Outlook, Mac Mail, etc.), you can email the address for the cohort you wish to communicate with, or you can post directly to one of these lists from the UIUC Mailing Lists server. You can also check your subscription to any of these mailing lists via the server.
Department administrators and selected staff members have ownership privileges on these lists (which allows them to manage list subscribers and moderate postings even if they are not members). If you believe you have a legitimate reason to be granted owner or moderator status on a given departmental mailing list, please email stat-marcom@illinois.edu.
The communications office does not send out internal communications emails on behalf of department members. However, we do manage subscriptions to these mailing lists as members join or leave the department. If for any reason you believe you have not been included on the appropriate mailing list, please contact stat-marcom@illinois.edu.
