Mailing Lists

A take on which mailing list is for what.

the most popular being "dept" which contains mostly everyone in the department who has an account. Then there is "grads" for the graduate students and a couple of staff and faculty. The faculty have a "faculty" mailing list which you're unlikely to ever see unless you become an instructor for a class.

"seminars" is used for the Invited Speakers Series

The Computers Science department shares the ICICS/CS (formerly known as CICSR/CS) Building with ICICS, the Institute for Computing, Information & Cognitive Systems (formerly known as CICSR, the Centre for Integrated Computer Systems Research) and thus there are a bunch of Electrical Engineering labs and grads in the building. You'll then see postings to cicsrgrads and cicsr-faculty from the domain cicsr.ubc.ca.
