Calendar of Events
Note: More dates can be found on the CHS Sharepoint Calendar Back to TopCHS Master CalendarWith the myriad college events and strategies
scheduled during the 2012-13 year it can become very confusing to keep up
with what's going on! We encourage all faculty and staff to regularly check
the CHS Master Calendar to stay in the loop. The CHS Master Calendar contains information about upcoming college-wide meetings and deadlines,
although it does not list events that are program/discipline specific. The most convenient way to stay up-to-date is to connect the master calendar to your Outlook. However you also have the option of accessing the calendar through Footnotes or the main CHS webpage.
Please click here for instructions on the multiple ways to access the CHS Master Calendar. College Meetings DatesThe 2012-13 College Meetings for faculty and
staff are scheduled for 12:00 – 1:30 as follows: September 28 CTW 216 Muscle Forum
Nutritional Sciences Seminar Series
Symposia on Advanced Medical Imaging
Save the Date: 5th International Ankle Symposium
