我在大学工作也很多个年头了。从来没有收到过校长亲自给员工发的电邮;其实,以校长的名义直接发给员工的也没有。所以,当我作为一个非正式的staff member收到IU校长的电邮时,觉得很新鲜。所以就兴奋将它晒出来了。当然,这不一定是校长的亲历亲为。但是这种姿态我也是闻所未闻。而且,从邮件的语气来看,这样的事情好像还经常发生。不知道在我作为正式教员的大学里,我是不是也有机会经历这样的事情呢?
其实,事情不大。就是校长在一次重要的讲话以后,把讲话稿和讲话视频转发给所有的员工,同时又请所有的员工发表各自的意见,并将意见发送至校长给出的他本人的邮箱内。
如此而已!……

<Show All Headers>Dear colleagues,
In the past year, we have seen record-setting accomplishments on all of our
Indiana University campuses, thanks to the hard work and dedication of so
many IU faculty and staff members. Last week in my State of the University
speech, I was pleased to review these accomplishments and lay out our course
for achieving continued and growing excellence in our two core missions,
education and research.
The speech is now available on the Internet in text and video formats, and
I would invite you to take a moment and look at it if you have not already
done so. We are well on our way toward building one the 21st century’s great
universities, and we have much cause for optimism despite the current economic
and financial challenges facing our state and nation. Please take a look, and
as always, I would be happy to hear your thoughts and comments. You can e-mail me at <邮箱地址>.
