In the age of social media there are many ways for news to be communicated. Faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the general public can find out what is going on around campus through Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and many other sources. How did Ryerson get the word out there before the internet and smart phones – let’s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Happening around Ryerson<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What’s Happening around Ryerson<\/em> (1971-1977) was published once a week as an events calendar by the Department of Information Services. It was replaced by On Campus this Week<\/em> (1977-1986). The Office of University Advancement published Campus News <\/em>(2004-2009) which was emailed out to the Ryerson Community announcing individual events, campus notes, and other related information. This was discontinued in 2009 with the creation of Ryerson Today<\/a>. <\/em>The Office of University Advancement, and now the Department of Communications, Government, and Community Engagement periodically send out news releases about significant Ryerson occurrences and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
