Over the weekend of July 8, the Northwestern Collaboration Services project team collaborated with engineers at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences to successfully migrate Meeting Maker events occurring on or after June 27, 2011 to the new system. These events were made available to faculty and staff at the start of business on Monday, July 11, 2011, when the Collaboration Services calendar became the University calendar of record for meeting scheduling.
Meeting Maker users are encouraged to access their new calendar system (Outlook, OWA, or Apple iCal) to compare upcoming meetings in their Meeting Maker account with data in their new calendar and make adjustments as necessary. Access to Meeting Maker is available until July 31, and users can access and export historical calendar data for both Windows and Mac systems.
Non-Meeting Maker users will begin their transition beginning on July 18. The schedule for these faculty and staff is primarily pre-defined by school local technical leaders and departmental support personnel.
Drop-in support locations are available at several locations on both campuses for faculty and staff that have transitioned to Northwestern Collaboration Services.
Contact your Local Readiness Team Lead, technical support specialist or the NUIT Support Center if you have any questions about your school or department’s transition.
