Online Community

Click here to access the STN Online Community. The STN Online Community allows you to better network with your peers in STN. It includes enhanced features such as discussion forums, an integrated document library, blog, and many other networking features.



Here is some additional information that may be useful as you get to know the STN online community:

  • Login to the Community with the same username (i.e., your email address) and password that you use to login to the STN website. If you need assistance with your password, click here.

  • You are automatically a member of the Open Forum Community. This is a space for you to interact directly with your STN colleagues -- ask questions, share information and respond to others' posts. It will replace the general STN listserv.

    You will receive postings to this Forum directly to your email inbox. In these emails, clicking on “Reply via Email” allows you to reply via email. Clicking “Reply Online” allows you to reply to a discussion post via the STN Community website.

  • Similar to Facebook or LinkedIn, you can upload a photo and add a brief professional bio. You may also pull in data from your pre-existing LinkedIn account.

Community Etiquette

The following guidelines are not intended as rules or requirements for participating in the list. Instead, they are general tips for participating in online Community discussion in a responsible and courteous manner.

  • State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject.
  • Do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from the list, through the Community. Instead, use the Web interface to change your settings or to remove yourself from a list. If you are changing e-mail addresses, you do not need to remove yourself from the list and rejoin under your new e-mail address.
