Earlier in 2010, DoIT released groups functionality within myUMBC.  In a nutshell groups are a way that people can collaborate, inform and have discussions.  A more detailed description is available here at http://my.umbc.edu/groups .  Anyone can request a group so CPS IT decided to request one for CPS.  At the moment there is no specific "plan" on how to use this space, but one hope is that this group will provide an area where CPS staff and other interested individuals can join and share pertinent information such as upcoming events, initiatives, goals, discussions and or news amongst one another.  So if you feel inclined to be a part of this group, please join.

Steps to join:

1.  Log into myUMBC (http://my.umbc.edu).
2.  Hover over the "Community" link at the top navigation bar and select Groups.
3.  Click on the "Continuing & Professional Studies (CPS)" group.
4.  Click on the "Join this Group" button.


There are other myUMBC groups available to join so please take some time to peruse the different groups.  If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the CPS Help Desk.  This as well as other news items can be viewed here:  http://my.umbc.edu/groups/cps/news .

Thanks,
CPS IT
