Our Channels
MISC is happy to promote any iSchool student-run events and activities to MI students. We use the following online channels to stay in touch:

MISCy Business: MISC sends a weekly e-mail newsletter called MISCy Business to all MI students via our student society listserv. Newasletters generally go out every Monday in the evening, though during less busy periods some weeks may be skipped.
NEWSLETTER Promotion Requests
Please note the following guidelines for submitting announcements:
- We are happy to promote any initiatives that are run by iSchool student groups, and we encourage you to submit requests for any meetings, talks, tours, or other events open to iSchool students.
- To request an announcement, please submit a 2-3 sentence blurb and title to the VP Communications.
- Requests that are submitted for external events will be curated very carefully. We want to ensure MISC channels are used to communicate unique information of interest, so students continue to find them valuable.
- The weekly cut-off for newsletter requests is Sundays at 6:00pm. MISC-y Business on Monday. MISC will not fulfill send any announcements outside of our regular newsletters.
