Did you know you can delay the delivery of email in Outlook? If you have a tendency to work late or very early by delaying your message the recipient won’t hear a ding in the small hours. If your recipient is out of the office, scheduling an important message to send when they return will put it at the top of their priority list. 

In Outlook, click the down arrow next to the Send button after you’ve finished writing your email. You can then click Send Later and select the time and day you’d like the email to be sent. You can view your scheduled emails in the Drafts folder.

Happy July - some more Outlook tips this week, save time and learn your keyboard shortcuts. This is more of a practice makes perfect strategy, but accumulated knowledge of keyboard shortcuts can start saving major time. A few of our favorites are Ctrl + R (reply to an email), Alt + R (reply all), Alt + W (forward an email), Alt + S (send an email), and Ctrl + G (go to any date on your calendar).

The entire UPEI community was dismayed to hear the news of the discovery of remains at a former residential school in Kamloops, BC. Flags on the UPEI campus will be flown at half-mast until sunset on June 8 to honour the lives of the 215 First Nation children whose remains were found in a mass grave.

UPEI is joining the Government of PEI and many other governments and organizations in lowering the flags to half-mast for 215 hours, representing one hour for every child whose life was lost on the grounds of the former residential school in Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc territory.

Crows on campus know if you have food or something that looks like food.

• NEVER FEED the crows or drop food on the ground. This includes food wrappers. 
• KEEP FOOD HIDDEN inside a bag or backpack. Do not just carry a food container. Crows can smell it!
• Should a crow start to attack you, WAVE YOUR HANDS and forcefully shoo them away and continue your walk. That way the crow will learn that it's not productive to show this type of behaviour. 

If everyone on Campus is consistent in dealing with the crows, hopefully, we will all be able to enjoy our beautiful PEI summer outside!

Excellent tutoring support is available during the second summer session!  Go to upei.mywconline.com to see our appointment schedule and make an appointment.  All appointments will take place online.
