The Pulse

Do you have an upcoming event? Is your department hosting a seminar or grand rounds of interest to the SOM? If so, place it on the Calendar of Events! Would you like to see what events are coming down the road that might be of interest to you? The Calendar of Events is there! The more we use it, the more effective it will become!

Let's work together and encourage our departmental administrators, seminar coordinators, and group leaders to add upcoming events to the Calendar! This can include seminars, grand rounds, special classes, open-to-the-public meetings, and any other event that is of general interest to the SOM.

The more people use the Calendar of Events, the more informative it will be and the more people will WANT to use it. Help us make the SOM Calendar of Events YOUR source for SOM information!

Using the Calendar of Events, which is part of the Outlook program that we use to access our e-mail, is as easy as knowing where to look and how to add events. Here's how to do it:
