Christchurch, New Zealand (University of Otago)

I posted this up some time ago but I feel its more relevant now after receiving our matching results. Those transferring to Otago might wanna check it out =)

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm a registered medical doctor in New Zealand, having trained in Christchurch Medical School.

I have a house in Christchurch that is up for rent and I'm just wondering whether any of the IMU students would be interested. For the past few years I have rented it out to IMU students and would like to have another group of IMU students again for next year. Can you please advise on the best way to advertise for this?

Thanks.

Regards
Michelle Law

Dr. Nilesh's Anatomy Blogspot

Dear all,

Dr. Nilesh has set up an anatomy blogspot for students to refer to. It is very good so please do check it out at www.imuanatomy.blogspot.com. Currently, it is for the senior medical students but there is no harm in everyone knowing about it.

Warmest regards,

Feedback on matching results

Dear Karim and Sowmya,

It is to my understanding that the results of the matching caused quite a bit of upset in your batch. If it is rather serious than this is an issue we would like to bring up in the upcoming academic meeting (this Wednesday). Please ask you batchmates to email us their feedback asap (to imusrc@gmail.com).

Thanks you.

Warmest regards,

Dress code in the library

Dear all,

As there have been many incidents of theft and outsiders coming into IMU to use our facilities, the SRC and SSD would like for the library to ensure that the students who use the library abide by the dress code and wear their IMU ID tags at all times.

Therefore, starting from the 16th of November (Monday), the librarians will turn away all students who do not comply to the IMU dress code including neck-ties and the IMU ID tag. Students are requested to take note of this matter and to please abide by the new rule for the everyone's safety.

Also, as a few students have inquired, on the 31st of October the library opened 20 minutes later than usual as the staff on-duty could not start her car (incidently, both staff members are housemates and come to work together). The head librarian would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Regards,
Nirmal

Dear SRC and batch reps,

Please take note of the note from Prof Victor,Executive Dean.

Please make announcement to all your batch mates on this. This serve as a warning and if any students are caught, they will be subjected to disciplinary action

Thank you

Dear May Kuan,

We suspect that some students are using the PBL rooms for their private activities and they eat and drink in them thus creating a mess. Can Student Services please remind the students that our regulations do not permit food or drink to be consumed in the PBL rooms and that any student caught doing so will be subject to disciplinary action.

Thanks.
