• The change is ONLY the way we dial on campus. The direct-dial numbers will not be different.
The change is not usually introduced by oneself.
• Be sure to have the phone list readily available on your desk
• It might be a good idea to note your own frequently dialed numbers and post it somewhere on your desk as a handy reference.
• Howard Imhof also recognized Becky Smith for the tremendous amount of work she put into the updated phone list.
