Welcome to the My Company Yammer Network.

The goal of this network is to provide a

collaborative environment to connect with people from across the University
community and share meaningful information. Our Yammer network is open to all
current My Company faculty, staff, and students. We encourage you to use this
community to help with your work, develop working relationships, connect with like-
minded colleagues, and reach out for help when you need it. We ask that you remain
respectful and follow some simple guidelines.

Guidelines for All Participants

Accountability: Take responsibility for your postings, clearly differentiating

opinions from fact. By posting content, you agree that you are solely responsible
for the content you create. Neither the content you post, nor the links to other
websites are screened, approved, reviewed or endorsed by Stony Brook University.
Accuracy and Transparency: The text and other material posted are the opinion of
the specific author and are not statements of advice or information of Stony Brook
University. Use your real name and a real photograph of you in your profile so it
is easier to know who you are.
Common Courtesy: Don’t do anything that will reflect negatively on you or your
colleagues.
Policy: By joining the Stony Brook Yammer network, you are agreeing to abide by
Stony Brook policy for the acceptable use of information technology described at
https://it.stonybrook.edu/policies/p109.

Violation of the policy may result in suspension of network access or other

information service privileges, disciplinary action, and legal proceedings.
Be Social: Try to engage the network in productive discourse and work to follow the
Stony Brook social media guidelines at
Details

Yammer isn’t a record-keeping system and shouldn’t be used as such. As soon as

postings on Yammer become something that needs to be formally recorded (e.g.
discussion leading to a business decision), then additional records must be created
and stored outside of Yammer. It is important that staff create full and accurate
records which adequately document business activities, significant events,
decisions and the basis for making those decisions.
Yammer is hosted on a multi-tenanted public cloud storage facility, located in the
United States. Therefore, do not use Yammer to share confidential, personal or
commercial information about Stony Brook, its students, its alumni or staff.
