Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Final List of Email Etiquette Tips

Here is the final list of email etiquette tips from the American Nurse Today article by Kathleen Pagana, Ph.D., RN. A thought -- RT professors may wish to share these with their students.

The last list of email etiquette tips follows:

* Don't forward messages with pages of "mail to" information before the content. Delete all extraneous information before you forward it.

* When responding to a question, include the question in your response. A response without the question may confuse the reader.

* Don't forward inappropriate messages. Such as jokes in bad taste or chain letters.

* Try to keep to a single topic. This makes it easier to respond and to file.

* Be proactive in your responses. Do everything you can to stop the exchange of emails. If you think your response will prompt a question, answer it.

* When sending an email to multiple addresses use "BCC." People don't like having their email addresses broadcast to the public.

* Use your auto-responder when you aren't available. Then people won't wonder why you haven't replied.
