Below you will find Frequently Asked Questions and brief answers. For additional information please contact Conference Operations and Events.

What is the Campus Memo? The Campus Memo is a Grinnell College internal newsletter published electronically during the academic year by Conference Operations and Events, excluding academic breaks. The first Campus Memo of the academic year is published prior to or during the first week of fall semester classes. The last Campus Memo of the academic year is published no later than two weeks following Commencement.

Who gets the Campus Memo and how is it distributed? The Campus Memo is distributed in several electronic formats. It is available online at this website, via weekly notification e-mail, and printable PDF files. The Campus Memo is no longer published primarily in paper form by Grinnell College. Contact Conference Operations and Events for help with printing a copy of the Memo. A limited number of paper copies are distributed to a mailing list. To inquire about receiving a copy, contact Conference Operations and Events.

What is the deadline for submissions and to whom do I send my information? For the online version, announcements are accepted Monday-Friday, and event entries are accepted daily. Electronic submissions via online forms will be accepted until noon on the Monday prior to publication for the printed version of the Memo.

Will my submission be edited? Conference Operations and Events reserves the right to edit all submissions and to reject items that are inappropriate for inclusion.

Conference Operations and Events will not edit for punctuation, spelling or grammar. Please carefully proofread your submission. We suggest that submissions be limited to 500 words or less. Web addresses should be included for further information.

Can I edit my item after submission? Yes. All event entries are available to edit. Announcements can be edited until they are approved for the Memo. Users may log in to the system with network username and password, and view all current submissions. Event-related Memo entries can be edited at any time and changes will be made to the online Memo within one day.

The event I want to enter isn't showing when I log in. What do I do? All the events you have scheduled on the College Calendar should be listed after logging in using your network username and password.

If your event is not listed, please check with Conference Operations and Events to verify that your event has been scheduled on the College Calendar.

Conference Operations and Events recommends that the same person who scheduled the event with the Calendar also submit the Memo entry. However, if you need to submit an entry for an event that you did not schedule, please contact us at x3235 or e-mail [memo] and we will arrange it so the event will show up on your page and you are able to submit it.

How can I get my announcement to appear on top? Announcements in the Campus Memo will appear in the order the submissions were received by the online system.

Events are listed chronologically, beginning with today's date.

What qualifies as a recurring meeting? Entries under the Recurring Meeting category are those campus-affiliated events held on a regular basis (i.e. every Monday or the first Tuesday of each month). Request a single confirmation number for all of your recurring meetings when booking your space with Conference Operations and Events. The attached Memo entry will appear in appropriate weeks.

If you want a different entry to appear for different dates, please request a different confirmation number (event reference) for each event.
