UM Today Management

Streamlining campus communication for the discerning reader.

Drowning in a sea of emails? You're not alone. The traditional "blast-to-all" approach to campus announcements often leads to information overload. UM Today tackles this issue by offering a sophisticated communication platform that delivers targeted messages and streamlines information access.

Imagine a curated digital bulletin board, personalized for your academic and extracurricular interests. UM Today aggregates announcements from various departments, categorizing them into sections like "Campus Events" and "Departmental Updates." This allows you to laser-focus on the information most relevant to your specific needs.

Here's how UM Today empowers you to become a master of your digital domain:

Precision Targeting: Gone are the days of irrelevant mass emails. Departments can now send announcements directly to their student or staff cohorts, ensuring you receive only the messages that directly impact you.

Consolidated Inbox: Receive a daily email digest summarizing important announcements. Alternatively, browse the comprehensive list at your convenience on myOleMiss.

Intuitive Navigation: Effortlessly locate pertinent information with clear category labels and date-based sorting. Whether you're prioritizing today's events or planning for next week, UM Today keeps you informed.

Multi-Channel Delivery: Announcements extend beyond email boundaries, residing on myOleMiss and potentially even the UM homepage, guaranteeing you won't miss crucial updates.

We acknowledge the skepticism. Some might scoff, "I never check UM Today." But consider this: the same sentiment likely existed regarding the previous system of individual emails. The reality is, vital information could be buried amongst deleted emails. UM Today solves this by presenting succinct summaries (subject, synopsis, date) that allow you to make informed decisions about the content's relevance.

Embrace the Power of Personalization:

Banish the Noise: Encounter an irrelevant message? Utilize the "Do Not Show" function in myOleMiss to permanently remove it (with the option to revisit it later if needed).

Craft Your Newsfeed: Don't fancy the default message order? Rearrange it or filter out specific categories entirely by customizing your UM Today preferences. You can even opt out of the daily email if you prefer a more streamlined approach. The platform caters to your preferences.

Second Chances Exist: Accidentally hid a crucial announcement? Fear not! The "Message History" function allows you to search past announcements, even if you previously dismissed them.
