Anyone involved on digital projects in any capacity, anyone interested in learning how to manage team projects through SharePoint for their specific departmental unit, or anyone who would like to reduce the amount of emails exchanged while collaborating on team projects will benefit from this session.  Two sessions left – tomorrow at 2pm and Thursday at 9am – catch either in MULN 472B.
