What's going on around the organization?
UCAR Communications provides several ways to keep you abreast of developments at NCAR, UOP, and the rest of UCAR. Here's what you need to know to stay connected.
Today@UCAR
Today@UCAR, the Internet news service for all staff, includes six sections: Daily Announcements, Calendar of Events, Careers, Cafeteria Menus, Visitors, and Classifieds. All sections are available continuously on the Web (Visitors updates weekly; all other sections update daily on the Web site).
Daily Announcements are e-mailed every business day. Four other sections are compiled and e-mailed on Thursdays (Classifieds are available on the Web only).
Any staff member may submit a Daily Announcement, Classified, or Calendar item to Today@UCAR; check the guidelines and use the online forms provided on the Web site.
How to get it
All staff with a UCAR e-mail address receive the Daily Announcements automatically (you cannot subscribe or unsubscribe; consult your local systems administrator if you're not receiving them).
