[BIC-announce] BIC news and events listing

[Theodore J P Strauss, Mr]

Hello BIC,

At the BIC retreat in December there was a call to have a centralized place where we can post events and news, both for internal events and external events with clear relevance to the BIC. I'm writing to share the initial plan for how this will work.
On the bottom of the BIC home page are two feeds: one for events and one for news. When you click 'View more' it will open the corresponding page. And there's a new 'Events' link in the main menu.
You can submit your news and events on this new web form<https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/bics-event-and-news-submission-form>, and BIC staff will review and publish it on your behalf within 2 working days. A link to that form can be found on the 'quick reference' tab on the BIC home page.

Please submit your news and events!

If you have ideas to make these features work better for our community, please reply and share your ideas.

Of note:
* I am working with the communications office on creating a weekly email digest with upcoming events and recent news. Aiming to launch this in February.
* Q: Will events posted to the BIC site also appear on the Neuro site, and vice versa? A: The goal is to have maximum flexibility so we can choose whether to share events to the Neuro site depending on the case.

Thanks
Ted
