Family Forum Listserv
The Family Forum is an electronic bulletin board which allows subscribers to post e-mail messages to the listserv address. This is an ideal forum in which to ask questions and share experiences with other parents. The goal is to begin conversations and establish relationships about issues your students are facing in college. All parents of first-year, transferring and continuing students may elect to participate. Please contact the Office of New Student & Family Programs with any questions.
How do I enroll in the listserv?
Sign up for the Parent and Family Association and select “The Loop” as your involvement. You will be automatically enrolled in the Family Forum and will receive immediate e-mail messages as generated for you to read and respond. Please be sure to read the listserv rules of conduct (below) before participating.
How do I send a message to those enrolled in the Family Forum?
Just email familyforum@stmarys-ca.edu and it will be forwarded to those in “The Loop”. You will receive immediate feedback from other parents. Please be advised that when you reply to an email, your response will be sent to the entire group. If you would like to keep your question or response confidential, reply directly to the individual.
