SpiderBytes

SpiderBytes is an e-mail forum for University of Richmond students, faculty and staff to exchange important and pertinent information regarding University business and campus-wide events. Only members of the University of Richmond community can submit messages. Approved messages are compiled into a digest and sent once daily at 5 a.m. The digest is sorted specifically for students, faculty and staff.

SpiderBytes may be used to relay information regarding University events or necessary business. The information must be related to a specific event or necessary business and must be relevant to all members of one or more of the available audiences -- faculty, staff and students. Messages relevant to only a small subsection of one audience may be rejected. This forum is intended to be a University-wide medium.

Approved messages may include invitations to on-campus academic, social or cultural events; information regarding facility hours or logistics; changes in class or program offerings, locations or times; and other announcements deemed relevant to University business. SpiderBytes is not intended for self-promotion, "empty" news, lost-and-found announcements, political or social commentary, hate speech, or any other type of message not related to University-wide business or events. These types of messages will be rejected. If your announcement is not directly related to University business, please use other media on campus such as information boards in various University facilities.
