Double-Check Email Recipients Before Sending
|
Since it is not uncommon for two people on campus to have similar names, be sure to take an extra couple of seconds to verify that you have selected or entered the email of the person you intend to reach before you push the “send” button. This is especially important if the email contains sensitive or personal information about students, trauma, finances, etc.
When you are replying to an email, check to see whether you clicked “reply” or “reply all” and whether your response should go only to the original sender or to everyone who was copied.
