Subscribe to the News

In response to requests to reduce the amount of email received by students, faculty and alumni, the FSU College of Communication & Information is adopting RSS  as way to share information without sending it via  email. RSS is an “opt in” system that lets you specify which specific types of information you would like to receive. News can be read in a wide variety of RSS-enabled programs including Microsoft Outlook, Google and many others. Information vital to our students’ academic progress will continue to be sent by email.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication”. It is an information delivery system that automatically retrieves content from web sites that are updated frequently and delivers it automatically to a piece of software called an “RSS Reader”. RSS feeds save time because you don’t have to visit the web sites frequently to find new content – it is automatically delivered to you in real time. RSS feeds are convenient because all of your updates are organized inside the “RSS Reader”, making it easy to read , search and organize your  updated information. Many people like RSS because it eliminates the need to share your email address in order to receive information, which protects your privacy.
