ROUNDS, 01-14-08: Academic & Research Center Building Progress
Welcome
to ROUNDS! This weekly e-newsletter goes out to
all OU-COM and CORE personnel.
Those of you who were
OU-COMers prior to 2004 will recall the previous print versions of ROUNDS, the
internal publication that covered a variety of news, announcements and just
about anything happening in the college or our CORE system.
I encourage you to send
me your news/announcements each week by Wednesday by 3 p.m., which will make up
the following week’s ROUNDS. If you have any questions or suggestions, and I
imagine you might, please contact me, 3-0896 or sanders@oucom.ohiou.edu. The ROUNDS
archive is here.
