The name which appears when you send messages to a Listserv is determined by your display name entered in the LISTSERV system. This display name is set when you or someone else subscribes you to a listserv. Your display name on one listserv affects your display name for all listservs, so you can modify your display name by taking the following steps:
- Access the Listserv Web Interface at https://listserv.it.northwestern.edu .
- In the top right corner, click Log In, then log in with your official Northwestern email address and NetID password.
- Click Subscriber's Corner in the top left corner.
- To the right of the listserv name, click Settings.
- In the Name box, update your name.
- At the bottom of the page, click Update Options.
You may need to repeat steps 3 through 6 if you are subscribed to multiple listservs; if your name is incorrect on one, it will affect the others.
