Email Distribution Groups

Email distribution groups help to save email contact information for a group of individuals that share a common interest or role at the university.

If you wish to raise awareness for an event or send a communication to members of the university, please first explore the following options:

• publish announcements and content on One.StThomas.edu
• coordinate with the Newsroom
• and consider digital signage
• then send targeted emails to these lists as needed.

Automated Email Distribution Groups (Auto: DGs)

These auto-populated distribution groups serve as a way for university leadership to streamline email communication to broad audiences for direct and timely messages. 

View a list of available Auto DGs and instructions finding DGs.

Other Ways to Create a Distribution Group

You can create a Microsoft 365 Group to serve as a distribution group and shared mailbox. This allows you to manage membership yourself. These groups come with SharePoint sites and can be used in Microsoft Teams.
