Ordering stationery and business cards
Publications Services has produced a procedures manual that outlines guidelines for proper use of the University’s new logo. It is available at www.rochester.edu/publications/graphicstandards. The University also is working with Oser Press to develop an online system for ordering stationery and business cards. The system is expected to be completed by January 2008. Until the new system is in place, faculty and staff should follow the interim procedures for ordering stationery and business cards outlined on the Web site.
Underground Railroad
More than 35 of the nation’s leading authorities on the Underground Railroad will convene in Rochester from September 28 to 30 for the Frederick Douglass International Underground Railroad Conference and Freedom Festival. Keynote presenters and performers Juan Williams, Bernice Johnson Reagon, and Darryl Van Leer will be joined by 30 educators, historians, museums directors, and other presenters, including University graduate student Monique Patenaude.

Managing spam
Users of messaging services provided to faculty, staff, and students by University Information Technology will soon have access to a new level of spam protection. The physics and astronomy, chemistry, and psychology departments are currently piloting the new offering and experiencing an 83 percent reduction in spam. The Web interface will allow users to login using their NetID and manage their spam accounts and quarantines. Users can follow project progress at “IT Notices” at www.rochester.edu/it.
