"Useful" is the word I've heard the most in connection with the Institute's new Intranet. To help us do our jobs, share across program lines, learn a little more about each other as people, enjoy our community more, celebrate our collective and individual milestones. Let us know what you think. Feel free to email your suggestions to Zannie at agunn@email.unc.edu.

Also, I encourage you to visit our Web site www.sph.unc.edu/nciph . It too helps us know more about each other. I see each of us as an ambassador for the Institute to those we serve. In that vein, each of us needs to know what is going on so that we can "connect the dots" and thereby be better ambassadors and better internal collaborators with other NCIPH programs. Both of these online tools are about getting out of our silos, in a way.
