Two new listservs have been created to help faculty and staff at colleges and universities communicate more effectively with each other and with the ESRI’s education team. These two new moderated listservs (HEFACULTY-L and HESL-ADMINS-L) have been created at the request of many faculty and staff to provide a way to ask questions and receive answers in a timely manner and to support each other with best practice ideas or links to other resources.

The two listservs have different missions. HEFACULTY-L has been created to allow faculty and staff at all colleges and universities ask questions and get answers related to education, research and administrative use of GIS at their institution. This can include questions about the use of ESRI's software products in education, curriculum guidance, pedagogy, lab set up and program marketing and development.

HESL-ADMINS-L is for ESRI Site License Administrators, Coordinators, EDC Contacts, faculty and staff to ask questions or provide answers related to ESRI Site License use and software on their campus including ways to better manage and spread GIS use across campus.

Both listservs are moderated and limited to questions related to topics of GIS use in education, research or administrative or ESRI Site Licenses in Higher Education. It should not be used to post jobs, resumes or ask tech support questions that are more properly addressed by other ESRI listserv or forums.

If you are a faculty or staff at a college or university, visit the ESRI Education Community for subscription directions at http://edcommunity.esri.com/community/HEFaculty .

If you are an ESRI Site License Administrator, Coordinator or EDC Contact or are faculty or staff interested in ESRI Site License related topics you can visit the ESRI Education Community for subscription directions at http://edcommunity.esri.com/community/HESLAdmins .

Once your subscription has been confirmed, you can send a question, answer or comment to the listserv. All emails to the listserv will be reviewed to be sure that they are on a topic and support the goals for that listserv. If you have any questions, please send them to highered@esri.com.
