BML & CMSI Email Distribution Lists

Email distribution lists 

BML/CMSI maintain internal mail lists for our UC Davis affiliates to communicate with each other, as well as a broader Mailchimp distribution list we use to communicate with affiliates, partners, stakeholders and supporters.

Mailchimp is our primary method of communication, both internally to our UC Davis affiliates and externally to our partners, stakeholders, and supporters. We use this list to send quarterly updates, donor communications, newsletters, breaking news, and events. 

Sign up for BML & CMSI mailchimp lists

We will use the information you submit through this form to sign you up for this list. Within 5 business days, you will receive a confirmation of your list subscriptions.

Please also add cmsi@ucdavis.edu to your address book to prevent our messages from going to your junk folder.

You can manage your preferences or unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of every Mailchimp Email.

Managing Sympa List Subscriptions

Subscribe through your Email

  • Send an email to sympa@ucdavis.edu from the address you want to subscribe to the list.

After this, you will receive a message telling you whether your request was accepted or not: If the subscription to the list is subject to any approval, the list owner may choose not to subscribe you. If so, do not send several other requests as the result will remain the same. You may send a message directly to the list owner (nameofthelist-request@ucdavis.edu) to explain why you really want to subscribe to the list...

Note: You will sometimes be asked to confirm your subscription request before it can be processed. If so, please follow the instructions listed in the message you receive.
