Log in to the e-mail you use most often, and send a message to me at L-Sanders [at] neiu.edu .  In the "Subject" line of the message, type your name.  (The body of the message can say anything, or even could be blank.)

If you wish to have a second address added to my mailing list, please log in to *that* e-mail, send me a message, and as the subject line, type your name and then the word ALTERNATE.  Unless you explicitly request otherwise, I will add all your addresses to the announcements/jobs mailing list.
