We launched the Mendoza Exchange newsletter about 18 months ago as a way of improving our internal communication, increasing transparency and building community among our faculty and staff. Judging from the weekly open rates and contributions to the newsletter, it’s become an important touchpoint for nearly 400 colleagues located in four buildings in two time zones!

I’m pleased to announce a new development: Mendoza Exchange is now the new COBWeb. The content you see in the e-newsletter every week is housed on the website formerly known as COBWeb (a.k.a. College of Business Web). This will allow us to archive the stories, photos and briefs online that appear each week in case you want to refer back to an item. It also will provide an opportunity for longer profiles or other pieces that didn’t meet the space requirements of the email version.

At the same time, the resources that many COBWeb users rely on, such as the quick links and Mendoza IT tech tips, will continue to be available. Take a look!

The Mendoza Exchange website was the result of a strong and creative collaboration between Mendoza IT and Communications. I especially want to thank Mark Kimmet, Raymond Alavo, Phil Corporon, Diego Wang, Melissa Jackson and Zara Osterman.

I hope you will continue to contribute ideas and submissions to Mendoza Exchange so that we can celebrate one another’s achievements and milestones — from new research to new babies — together as a community.

In Notre Dame,

Martijn
