- Campus life photos and interest group activities
- Current-week events and real-time updates
- Sneak-peeks, spotlights and testimonials
The dean’s weekly bulletin is for timely internal announcements, events, opportunities and kudos. Content submitted by 5 p.m. each Monday is included in that week’s Wednesday edition. Featured entries are compiled into a quarterly roundup for the website. Use this channel for:
- Events happening within the month
