ThisWeek@Schulich is an e-bulletin for all faculty, staff, students and trainees at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.
ThisWeek@Schulich is changing!
During the summer months, we’ll be updating the look and structure of ThisWeek@Schulich to better meet the needs of our diverse team across the School. And beginning the week of May 21, ThisWeek@Schulich will arrive in your inbox on Tuesdays. Please keep this in mind when sending event notifications. The submission deadline will continue to be Noon on Fridays.
To accommodate these changes, there will be no distribution the week of May 14.
ThisWeek@Schulich will also be getting shorter. Extended announcements and events more than a week away will be linked in ThisWeek@Schulich to the newsletter’s website, www.schulich.uwo.ca/communications/thisweek.
We will continue to send you updates on the progress of changes to this important weekly bulletin.
