OrgSync is an online social community that allows people to connect and promote events on campus. The W began using OrgSync last year, but there are still many who don’t understand how to navigate the website. The first step is making sure you have a profile. W students can use their myapps.muw.edu email address to register and create a profile at orgsync.com.

One of the benefits to OrgSync is creating groups. You can use your profile to create a group and begin tracking or planning events. To create a group, go to the Organizations tab on the “Community Home” page. On the right side of the screen, you will see a button that says “Register New Organization.” This will take you to a form that you will need to fill out, as well as allow you to choose an advisor and inform them of your group.

How to: change a tire

Changing a tire can seem like a daunting task for someone who hasn't done it before. However, it is a very easy and safe procedure, as long as you know how to do it properly.

In the event of a flat, the first thing you need to do is make sure your car is on level, stable ground. A parking lot is ideal, but if there isn't one available, pull as far over onto the shoulder of the road as you can. While the car is still on the ground, use a tire iron to loosen the lug nuts. Do not fully remove the lug nuts until the car is completely off the ground.

Reserving buildings on campus for events can sometimes be difficult, especially if you are unaware of the process. Throughout the semester, there are a lot of fun activities and events produced for students and faculty. Social clubs and other organizations on campus go through a lengthy process of making sure that their events are well-planned.

Resources Management, located in Whitfield Hall, is the place to go for forms and supportive staff members who will help you find a location on campus for your event. The department deals with property matters, including apartments for faculty and staff.
