Issue 2 - August 20, 2013

Last Tuesday, Academic Affairs launched a weekly information email. These weekly updates will provide a one-stop shop for the emails that we usually send throughout the week; for example, announcements of events, news and deadlines. These will be archived on the Academic Affairs website for your reference, and will include links to necessary forms and documents. Periodically we will include updates from others in Academic Affairs. This is a work in progress, so if there are ways we can improve, please let us know.
