RMstudents Technology meets medical education

As Rush migrates to the new Outlook email system, I'd like to share some information on getting started. There's a lot of good information on here that not everybody knows, so I'd appreciate it if you would share this with your friends so that everyone is basically on the same page.

Getting Started

First, I understand that there are a bunch of people who have not yet accessed the new email system. I've found this is generally for 1 of 3 reasons. Read More »

I just received an email that Rush's Perkspot site has been upgraded.  If you've never heard of Perkspot, it's a website that offers Rush employees and students discounts for a ton of stores, products, services, and events.  They have discounts on books, cell phones, computers and electronics, event tickets, travel, insurance, and more.  To be eligible, you simply must be a Rush student (or employee).  You'll need to sign up for an account with Perkspot (using any email address you want) and you'll be able to log in and get all sorts of great deals.  This site is updated constantly with new coupons and deals that are available online and in-store.  Of course some discounts are better than others.  For example, Apple's discount is the regular "university discount" that you get everywhere.  Dell, HP, and Lenovo all offer their corporate discounts, which in the case of Lenovo is often very good.  I saved over 30% on a Lenovo laptop last Spring.  Read More »

Hey all,

Here are the final versions of 3 files. 2 are surveys I made (one for Path, one for Step 1), and the 3rd is a great huge document on Step 1 given to me by an M3. Hope they help.

If you missed it in one of the last Rush newsletters (does anyone actually read those emails?), Rush students now have access to employee discounts at Perkspot. Here's how to access the site:

1.) If you have not yet registered through the PerkSpot Web site, visit www.perkspot.com/register.aspx or click on the link provided on the Rush intranet site located at http://iris.rush.edu/benefits/index.html.
2.)To create an account, use your school e-mail address OR use your personal e-mail address and then enter "rush" as the company code.
3.) Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email with login instructions.
Pretty simple, and it should help out with your holiday shopping. Enjoy!
