The Campus Memo is a Grinnell College internal newsletter published electronically every Tuesday 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.

The Memo communicates college-related or college-sponsored events and announcements of interest to the faculty, staff and students of the campus community. Events must either be held on the campus, sponsored by a campus organization/department or a combination of both. Community events that do not fall under this criteria may be considered for communication through the Grinnell College Office of Community Enhancement.

The Campus Memo is distributed in several electronic formats. It is available online at this website, via weekly notification email, and printable PDF files. The Campus Memo is no longer published primarily in paper form by Grinnell College. Contact Conference Opersations and Events for help with printing a copy of the memo.

The Memo is available in a live electronic format at this website and in PDF updated each Tuesday at 12:05 a.m. Opt-in listservs are available for those who would like to receive the Campus Memo special interest items through an email message. Listserv messages are distributed each Tuesday morning of publication. More information about subscribing to these lists is located on the Campus Memo main page.

Electronic submissions via online forms will be accepted until noon on the Monday prior to publication for the printed version of the Memo. For the online version, announcements are accepted Monday-Friday, and event entries are accepted daily.

Inclusion in the Campus Memo is two weeks. Information linked to a College Calendar reservation can be made at anytime and will automatically be placed on the event's proper date. Announcements should be submitted the week prior to the intended Memo's publication date. The option to run an announcement for the next two weeks is available.

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.

Yes. All event entries are available to edit. Announcements can be edited until they are approved for the Memo. Users may log in with NT username and password to the add announcement form and view all current submissions. Event related memo entries can be edited at any time and changes will be made to the memo online within one day.

All the events you have scheduled on the campus 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 campus calendar.

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

The Grinnell College Career Development Office (CDO) has purchased an on-line system (eRecruiting.com) for communicating student campus job openings (and off-campus job openings) in a most efficient manner. The Campus Memo supports eRecruiting.com as it allows students to access complete job details in one location and with utmost convenience and timeliness.

The CDO submits student job openings to the Campus Memo on a weekly basis. Initially, job listings include a brief description of the position so that students have a basic understanding of applicant qualifications and position requirements. In subsequent issues of the Campus Memo, the position title and office of hire are listed until the application deadline is reached. Campus offices and individuals are encouraged to submit their student job openings to the Career Development Office which will then place notices in the Campus Memo. All student job openings received by the Campus Memo and from offices or individuals other than the CDO will be directed to the Career Development Office.

Announcements in the Campus Memo will appear in order the submissions were received by the online system.

Events are now listed chronologically.

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 Opersations and Events and the attached memo entry will appear in appropriate weeks.

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