I'm happy to announce that we have opened the Help Me Now office on the 5th floor of the newly renovated Taubman Health Sciences Library (THSL).  We are in suite 5100, just outside of the elevators.  Our hours of operation are Weekdays 8am-9pm, and Weekends noon-9pm.  The odd hours are a combination of the LRC Help hours, and HMN, as we are working to support the needs of the constituency.

A Grand Opening event is scheduled for September 16 for dignitaries of the University, donors, regents, and the general public.

Over 200 tickets generated since August 3, 2015.  Most of them with incoming M1's and returning M2's.  With a new building, new curriculum, new Orientation, new staff, new online tools, we have been learning as much as we have been helping.  It's been an exciting three weeks.

Soon, we will be replacing posters up in the UMHS buildings to provide more information to patrons that we exist, and can help them.

We are also showcasing works from fellow MSIS teams to help generate buzz, questions, and interest in other things happening around MSIS.  Some of this will be digital content for our internal LCD marquee, and others are physical, like posters, pamphlets, etc.

If you are around Taubman, come on in!  It's a great space, and has actual windows!  It's a bit noisy at times, between classes, but is a good landing space for anyone in MSIS that needs a space.

Service Manager for Help Me Now
