The University of Wisconsin-Madison, as part of its mission as a research institution, allows campus-affiliated researchers to use email to send its faculty, staff, and students information about research subject participation opportunities.
Research Email Service sends messages on your behalf to general groups on campus, including students, faculty/staff, or your own list of email addresses. Use of these email addresses has been approved by the campus data custodians: Registrar’s Office for students or Office of Human Resources for faculty/staff.
This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.
