Tips for Navigating the NDC Listserv
The NDC listserv is a collaborative space for professionals supporting deaf people in postsecondary settings. It’s designed for sharing resources, exchanging strategies, and engaging in meaningful dialogue. Your contributions help build a strong, informed community. Membership is open to any professional working in or around deaf postsecondary education, and all posts are reviewed by NDC moderators before reaching the group.
Community Standards and Member Conduct
This listserv is built on mutual respect and professional collaboration. Engage thoughtfully, and ensure all interactions, within this space and beyond, remain professional and appropriate.
Use this space to exchange information and connect with colleagues. Professional networking is encouraged; however, do not use connections or contact information for personal, unsolicited, or unrelated outreach.
Harassment, inappropriate contact, or disrespectful behavior toward any member is strictly prohibited.
Violations of these standards will result in immediate removal from the listserv and a permanent block from rejoining. NDC moderators are responsible for reviewing and enforcing these standards.
If you experience or witness a violation, please contact us at help@nationaldeafcenter.org. All reports are taken seriously.
A Few Things to Know Before You Post
- Messages are not posted immediately. All posts go through moderator approval before reaching the group. If you post on a night or weekend, expect approval the next business day. Messages may bounce automatically if you attach a large file or if the system flags possible spam or malware. If your message bounces, contact us at help@nationaldeafcenter.org and we can help troubleshoot.
- Use a descriptive subject line. If you’re starting a new discussion, write a subject line that clearly reflects your topic. This helps members follow conversations and search the archives later.
- Reply to the group vs. reply to a person. Replying all sends your message to everyone on the listserv once approved. If you want to reach someone privately, remove the listserv address (nationaldeafcenter@utlists.utexas.edu) and email them directly.
- Prefer fewer emails? You can switch to a daily digest instead of individual emails. See the digest instructions below.
- Know someone who should join? Send them to nationaldeafcenter.org/signup.
