This purchase was for a basic, standard function calculator (’s price: $2.99) and my total was over $7. I recall making a single purchase there during my first year at ETSU. It’s no secret that many students, myself included, do not use the campus bookstore. Before I sat down to write this article, I heard from other students that they had received emails from the campus bookstore without having given that entity their email address. However, this didn’t just stop emails from this Director but also all emails that were directed to the ETSU Students Listserve.īut it’s not just the emails regarding sports that are sent, unbidden, to students. They advised me to contact the Office of the Registrar for advice.Īnother confession: When the university was transitioning away from Goldmail, I tried to block the Director so that I would no longer receive these emails. They could not offer any advice on unsubscribing from emails from the Associate Athletic Director. In my frustration, I reached out to the ITS Help Desk a few weeks ago. I did not sign up for these emails and there is no way to unsubscribe from them.Ī confession: When the university was still using Goldmail (which relied on Google’s Gmail platform), I would mark emails regarding sports as spam for these reasons. While I appreciate his enthusiasm and passion for ETSU sports, I become irrationally angry when I see that I have received a new email and it’s not a reply from one of my thesis readers but an email about sports.Īdditionally, I never told anyone that I was interested in receiving emails about sports. All of these emails pertain to sports announcements or sporting events. I’m sure that most students have noticed that we receive emails from Associate Athletic Director because we are a part of the ETSU Students Listserve. However, when sports are forced upon me, I become upset. If I’m in a group and they want to talk about sports, I’ll happily stare into the distance or check my phone for a minute. It’s a difference of opinion, and I’m not trying to convince people that they should not like sports. There are people on this campus who care about sports.
