Procedures for Tech Help Limited technical services may be offered in other venues on

campus, but the technical staff time will be billed back to the organization at a rate of $9/hr times the number of tech staff working

CCAL will also pay for up to 6 hours of tech rehearsal time. If more time is needed, the extra hours will be billed back to the organization at a rate of $9/hr times the number of tech staff working

Technical arrangements need to be made at least 14 days in advance. Otherwise services might be limited or unavailable. For larger productions, it’s best to make arrangements 3-4 weeks in advance.

A list of tech equipment for McCullough can be found on the Middlebury website under “Performance Spaces” on the Campus Activities and Leadership page.

Student organizations that are interested in staging an event in the Student Center Social Space have the option of hiring professional technical support from off-campus or hiring approved on-campus student technical assistants.

CCAL maintains a listing of approved student technical assistants for sound reinforcement and event lighting. It is the responsibility of the group’s leadership to contact the technical assistants to see if they are interested in the event and to schedule their time.

Email Accounts Creating new distribution lists

Once you have logged into Webmail, click “Contacts” in the left-hand sidebar.

When the Contacts screen has opened, click the little drop-down arrow next to “New” and select “Distribution List.”

A new window will pop up. Create a name for the list, such as “Womens Crew Fall 09” and enter into the box labeled “List Names.”

In the box labeled “Members,” begin entering the names of the people that you would like to add to the list. Names can be entered in two ways:

You can type in the person’s full name or part of their name and hit enter. If the correct name is not automatically added to the list below, you will be given options to choose from in a drop-down list.

You can also click the blue “Members” next to the box, and select already-made lists or search through the directory to create your list. When you have finished, click “Ok” at the bottom of the window.

Once your list is complete, click “Save and Close” in the upper left corner of your window. This will save your newly-created distribution list for later use

Now, when you go to compose your e-mail, just type the name of your list in the “To” box, and click check names to select the correct one. You should be good to go!
