Spirit goes on hiatus; columns to be featured on WVU Intranet
Weekly Fast Fax notices available from NIS
With the spring 2008 semester over, The Mountaineer Spirit is taking a break. Technology needs of readers have changed dramatically over the past few years, and News and Information Services (NIS), which will be restructuring, is taking a look at how to best meet employees’ communication needs.
While the Spirit will not be published during the summer, employees are encouraged to check the WVU Intranet (http://intranet.wvu.edu) for daily news updates, calendar items and faculty/staff columns.
E-News, distributed two or more times a week, also will continue to keep faculty, staff and administrators informed of the latest campus news and events. If you are a full-time, permanent WVU employee who is not receiving E-News announcements, e-mail your name, department/unit name and University e-mail address to oithelp@mail.wvu.edu.
Offices with employees who do not have computer access as part of their jobs at the University are invited to sign up for Fast Fax notices from NIS. These one-page faxes (plus cover letter) are sent when important information needs to be communicated to employees.
The Fast Fax is designed to be displayed on a bulletin board. Typically, these announcements are distributed once a month or less, as needed. While the Spirit is on hiatus, weekly Fax Fax notices will be available to supplement Intranet postings. If your office is not receiving Fast Faxes and would like to be added to the list, e-mail your department name, fax number and a contact name and phone number to Janey Cink, NIS internal communications manager, at janey.cink@mail.wvu.edu.
Archived issues of the Spirit are available online at http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/spirit/.
