Daily Digest and UConn Health Lifeline
The Faculty/Staff Daily Digest, Student Daily Digest, and UConn Health Lifeline are University publications that alert subscribers about school-sponsored events and announcements. Each weekday (with the exception of certain holidays, listed below), these publications are delivered to students, faculty, and staff via email.
Daily Digest
The Faculty/Staff Daily Digest and Student Daily Digest are only for events and announcements that are officially sponsored by, sanctioned by, or affiliated with the University. No other events or announcements are permitted in either publication.
Alert System communications, including all emergency and campus closure information, are not included in the Faculty/Staff Daily Digest or the Student Daily Digest.
Faculty/Staff Daily Digest
The Faculty/Staff Daily Digest is automatically delivered across all campuses to all UConn faculty, staff, graduate students, and UConn Foundation employees at 11 am every weekday (with the exception of certain holidays, listed below). This publication contains the most current UConn Today headlines, human resources reminders, and important University-wide messages and announcements. Faculty and staff can also submit announcements for events, award nominations, calls for research participants, campus fundraisers, and more.
If you would like to receive the Faculty/Staff Daily Digest but do not have a NetID, you can still access the Digest by joining the UConn Public Daily Digest-L list.

The Student Daily Digest is automatically delivered to all undergraduate and Bachelor of General Studies students every weekday (with the exception of certain holidays, listed below).
