Economics is switching from an internal conference room calendaring system to the campus exchange system using Microsoft Outlook. The initial motivation was to improve the speed of scheduling conference rooms, however campus integration is much better and you are also able to schedule meetings with anyone on campus using the exchange system.  If you need technical assistance, please contact Tan Nguyen (tdnguyen@iastate.edu, 80A Heady, 4-2719). Tan is working full-time this week and will change to half-time when classes resume on Monday.
