  • Winter Drive-In 2008

    On Monday January 28, 2008, Temple University played host to the GPHLAIR Winter Drive-In. We welcomed Richard Reeves and Ajeenah Haynes of the National Student Clearinghouse as our Luncheon Q&A speaker. Richard's presentation has been posted in the Downloads area for members to access (requires login).  We've also posted a few pictures from the event in the Photos area. Following up on the successful Summer Drive-In, the turnout for this event was equally strong, so thanks to everyone who came out making the event a success. A special thank you goes to Timothy Walsh, of Temple University, for taking the time to coordinate all of the local arrangements and to Jim Trainer, of Villanova University, for bringing in the Student Clearinghouse. The advisory council has already begun working on the Summer Drive-In so keep an eye out for more information.

  • Summer Drive-In 2007

    Our first official GPHLAIR event was held yesterday on the campus of Philadelphia University. All of the presentations have been posted in the Downloads area for members to access (requires login).  We've also posted a few pictures from the event in the Photos area. Overall the members of the advisory council were pleased with the turnout and we've received a lot of positive comments about the event. Thanks to all those who made it out and helped to make our first event a great success. Special thanks to Dr. Jerry Rackoff for taking the time to drive all the way to Philly to be our inaugural luncheon speaker. The advisory council will begin working on the plans for our next event. In the meantime, look for our SIG at NEAIR in New Brunswick NJ!

  • Email Notification for Select Discussions

    Do you wish that sometimes you didn't have to receive every reply to a discussion that doesn't concern or interest you? With email subscription, you can do just that. If you've set up your email notifications (see blog post) to alert you to new topics posted in the forum, you'll get a single email notifying you of the new discussion. Do nothing and you won't get another email regarding the topic. However, if a topic is of interest to you and you'd like to read each posting in that thread, you can enable email subscription to that thread. At the top of the discussion you'll see a button that says "Enable Email Subscription" (See below).

    Notify 1

     Click that and it changes to

    Notify 2

    You have now subscribed to the thread and you'll be emailed each time a new posting is made in that discussion ONLY. Change your mind? Go back to the discussion and click the disable button and notifications stop.
