New graduate students are getting a warm welcome. The School of Graduate Studies and the Division of Student Affairs and Services are hosting a Graduate Student Orientation for all new graduate students at Memorial.

Exchange change
Computing and Communications Director Graham Mowbray is overseeing the transition from the 737 exchange to the 864 exchange.

Memorial University of Newfoundland’s St. John’s campus has a new telephone exchange number. The new exchange, 864, became effective Aug. 9, 2010, and the old exchange, 737, will be phased out starting in early 2011.
