Inside UMaine Now Online |
 |
Inside UMaine, the university's monthly
faculty/staff newsletter, is now exclusively available on
the Web at
http://www.umaine.edu/insideumaine. The shift to
an online presentation creates opportunities for more
regular updates and it allows for more content than the
four-page printed format. Regular features include
President Kennedy's monthly Go Blue message, staff
profiles, the "Along the Mall" listing of faculty
presentations and publications, and monthly highlights
from
UMaine Today Online. The site also provides
navigation links to other online UMaine information
sources, including the
calendar of events. |
