Harvard Administrative Innovation Group
The PAIF was created by the Harvard Administrative Innovation Group, a group of 100 senior leaders from across the University who meet twice per year to collaborate on University priorities and focus on the President’s One Harvard goal.
Broadcast Communications
As consumers and senders of broadcast email, we all have a stake in the quality of digital communications at Harvard. The Office of the EVP and Harvard Public Affairs & Communications have worked jointly over the past few years to improve broadcast email—make it more effective, more efficient, and more engaging.
In collaboration with Harvard University Information Technology and the Emergency Management team, we’re also taking the opportunity to pilot and operationalize policies, evaluate systems, and identify support to help make our communications more timely and relevant for the benefit of the entire Harvard community. With these improvements, our goal is to support the quality of our communications while preserving our digital pathways for important—and sometimes emergent, messaging.
Central Administration staff should consult with their local communications representatives for more guidance on broadcast communication.
