Faculty senate meeting minutes for July The faculty senate’s unapproved meeting minutes for July are posted on the senate’s Web site at http://www.musc.edu/facsen. Guest speaker Christine Williamson, manager, Customer Service Center, Office of the CIO (OCIO) Information Services—E-mail update migration project started in late April. The process is going slower then expected due to the migration tool. There will be a time quota for Inbox and Sent items (180 days).   E-mails can be moved from Inbox into a subfolder. Subfolders are controlled by space not time. They are testing a migration tool for the Mulberry address book to make sure nothing is lost in transition to Exchange.   For more information visit http://www.musc.edu/infoservices/exchange or e-mail exchproj@musc.edu. Information Services hopes to give notice at least two weeks prior to migration. They will monitor for out of office messages. This will, hopefully, allow individuals to clean-out e-mails. Blackberries, Trios, and Palms will work directly with the server, no linking needed. Committee report Communication and Education Committee— Nancy Duffy reported on the previous town hall meeting. There was a good turn out. C3 would like time at the next town hall meeting to give an update. The preliminary topic for the next meeting is “Course Packs” by T. Bacro and Creating Collaborative Care. Governance—Walter Limehouse, M.D., reported that senators will receive a status report on where they fit into the roll-over process. Individuals who are at the end of his/her term will be asked if they would like to come off senate or stay on. There will be a list of those who would like to run again. Limehouse encouraged senators to solicit people to fill empty spots. The official list should be done by mid-August. The election will be held at September’s meeting. Ray  Greenberg, M.D., Ph.D., will be at October’s meeting to welcome the new senate members.
