So apparently Jefferson changed their policy or something, and quietly gave me a new email address with my married name. This is good because everyone at Jeff just assumes your email address is the name on your badge @jefferson.edu. People could look me up in the directory under my married name, but I thought that they would get my maiden name email address.
Two things I think are curious about this situation are (1) they didn't tell me they gave me another email address. I just happened to notice that someone I just met emailed me at it. And (2) somehow emails sent to it ended up in my gmail inbox just like all my other mail. I assume that means that the two jefferson email addresses are directed to the same jefferson inbox, which is very nice of them, especially since they decided not to tell me I had the address. If it were going into its own inbox somewhere else, emails would just pile up there indefinitely without me ever knowing to check them!
Overall, it doesn't really matter though. Jefferson cancels our school email addresses six months after we graduate, so I only have ~2 years left with my jeff emails anyway. I don't really want to get too many people using them and then have to switch everyone back over. In the meanwhile though, it will be handy for all of the people who make assumptions from my name tag.
