Starting a Search/Getting Started

Need an email address? (faculty only)

Search committees often use a shared email address (e.g., facultysearch@elon.edu) to receive correspondence from applicants during a search. If you need an address for this purpose, contact the Technology Service Desk and request a shared mailbox.

Shared mailboxes make it easy for a group of people to monitor and send email from common email addresses. This way, you can have several people checking and responding to emails from one email mailbox.
