Can you imagine having an empty email inbox? It almost sounds too good to be true! Although a completely empty inbox (also called "inbox zero") might seem overwhelming, maintaining a lean and clean inbox keeps us more organised and productive, ensures email records are handled appropriately, and eliminates email quota stress.
During this Lunch & Learn session, we will chew on useful Lotus Notes features and email management tips that will help increase our appetite for improving the efficiency and productivity of our email business skills.

What's the "I" in VPRI: Imagination, Innovation & Intellectual Property
What is innovation, apart from an over used buzz word? York's mission begins with "the pursuit, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge" and ends with "York University makes innovation its tradition." But what does this mean in practice at York? This session will use real examples from York and our partners to illustrate that it isn't just about the research we do and the knowledge that we create but what we do with that knowledge and expertise to create positive social, economic and environmental impacts on our local and global communities. That's Innovation York (http://research.info.yorku.ca/innovation-york).
