SGA UPDATE for Friday, 11/12/10

Streaming
We are now able to download lectures and watch them without any streaming interruptions.  As of now, downloading can only be accessed while on the TouroCOM network.  Instructions are listed below.  Please direct any questions/technical issues to the IT department.

Windows:1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. On URL/address type: ftp://vod.med.touro.edu
3. You will be prompted for username and password
(use your MED domain username, "med\firstname.lastname") and password for MED domain. (The username and password that you use to log into the library computers).

MAC:It's same as above. Mac users has to use Firefox/Chrome or any web browser that support ftp protocol. Safari DOES NOT SUPPORT FTP protocol.

*Please note that most of videos are in the “Hidden” folder. Anything that starts with “screen_2010...wmv “is the video from the podium computer capture and there is no audio with those files.  All files that start with “video_2010...wmv” have the video from the lecture camera plus the audio.

Study Rooms
In order to be courteous to your classmates, please do not block the door windows with your belongings. It’s not fair to other students when individuals leave their belongings all over the room, cover the door windows, and then leave the rooms for hours at a time. We will be enforcing this new rule this following week. Thanks for your cooperation!


Kaplan schedule
2nd years- Reminder: our Kaplan COMLEX prep runs from May 11th – June 9th 2011.  If you haven’t registered for your exam(s) yet, it’s definitely something to start looking into!


Google Groups:
Google groups have been enabled for clubs!  Clubs leaders, please make a Google Group for your club so that your emails can be directed only to your members. We have received too many complaints regarding the high volume of emails being sent through the list serve.  Now that we have finally gotten permission for this resource, please utilize it.  The link below will lead you to instructions on how to set up a group:



Club calendar
Once again, please put all your club events on the calendar.  This is the only organized way that students can look up events for the week without having to search through tons of email for the date/time/location of an event.  Its purpose is to benefit your club and encourage attendance.



Rotation information:
The SGA is working on setting up our rotation selection mid-Feb, bringing in program directors before our selection, and making the 3rd/4th year evaluations available to students.  We want this process to go as smoothly as possible while keeping everyone informed. For now please look through the resources provided and stay tuned for more information to come!
