To subscribe to the listserv, send a message from your email address to:
LISTSERV@LISTS.PSU.EDU
In the body of the message write:
subscribe PADA-L yourfirstname yourlastname RD (or other identifier)
Please use a credential or other identification after your name when you request to subscribe because bogus requests to join the listserv come regularly. The use of a credential after the name of a prospective subscriber saves the listserv manager time trying to decide whether to follow up on a request that may or may not be legitimate. Requests that don't have "RD," "DTR," "recent grad," "intern" or similar info after the name are just deleted as they arrive.
This command prompts an automatic message to the listserv manager from LISTSERV@LISTS.PSU.EDU. If your PADA status can be verified from the current PADA directory or from the PADA office, your subscription is activated.
If your name is not in the current PADA directory or on the membership list in the PADA office, you will receive a request for ADA number, address, etc. That information is then forwarded to the PADA office for verification of membership eligibility before the subscription can be activated. It is important that you use the same form of your name as on your ADA membership.
In July the PADA office verifies current membership status of the entire listserv in order to maintain assurance that all subscribers are current PADA members. If you change your name with ADA you might get dropped from the listserv. Just re-subscribe with your current ADA name. |
