New Staff E-zine launched
This staff e-zine, published monthly during the academic term, is designed to provide you with a concise collation of operational information from units, in a clear and quickly read format. In addition, it is hoped that this format will reduce the volume of all staff emails issued. If you have material to include or suggestions please email mark.simpson@ucd.ie
