Soon you will no longer receive emails sent to old @wmitchell.edu addresses. The wmitchell.edu domain will be removed from the internet on Dec. 23, 2016 to return to compliance with the following U.S. Department of Commerce/EDUCAUSE rule: Only a single name in the .edu domain will be assigned to any given institution. We have been allowed to retain the second domain name during the transition period.
