E-Mail, Microsoft Teams, and Voicemail
Each student will receive an Institute email address. IHP Email will be one primary mechanism for communication between faculty and students. Students are expected to check their Institute email daily. Failure to respond to email notification in a timely manner is considered unprofessional and may result in disciplinary action. No email address other than the Institute address will be used for communication. A second mechanism for communication between PhD RS program and students/faculty is our Microsoft Teams channel for PhD Rehab Sciences Students and Faculty. Students are expected to check the Teams channel regularly for IHP and Program announcements, meeting updates, and requests for administrative action. The Teams channel also provides useful links to important forms, information about supplemental coursework options, job postings, etc. and a discussion board forum for posing and responding to student questions. Please use Teams as one way to connect with one another in a professional forum, group problem solve, and share ideas.
All faculty members have voice mail. Phone numbers for voice mail are generally available (e.g. through the MGB Telephone Directory on-line). Faculty can access voice mail messages via email when away from the office.
