Events Calendar, calendar.mcg.edu – Classes, meetings, celebrations and more are posted on the Events Calendar at http://calendar.mcg.edu/. Events are listed on calendars categorized by schools, function (administrative operation – such as PeopleSoft or Banner), or general interest to a particular constituency (such as students, faculty or Wellness Center members.) E-mail subscriptions to a particular calendar are free and provide a regular update in a specific category. Daily event summaries are listed as “Today at MCG” on the MyMCG Portal. Instructions for submitting to the Events Calendar are available at www.mcg.edu/announcements/HowToAdd.htm

MyMCG Portal/Internal Announcements – Often news and event announcements are germane to only members of the MCG community and not the general public – i.e. reminders of benefits changes or parking registration deadlines. These items are most efficiently presented in a format accessible only to students, faculty and staff. The MyMCG Web Portal, launched in 2005, is a venue for every MCG employee to access personal data, such as their leave balance, in addition to announcements about MCG events and policies. A Need To Know announcements section of the portal is available for any member of the MCG community to submit a notice by e-mailing NEEDTOKNOW@mcg.edu.

Need to Know – Need to Know is an online venue created to keep the Medical College of Georgia campus community up to date on campus events, opportunities, deadlines, policy changes, Public Safety updates, and other general and official campus information that is not of an urgent nature. Notices about off-campus events will NOT be posted unless they are sponsored by a campus organization or significantly involve specific campus audiences.
