How to set up an appointment with me
Thank you for actually looking at how to do this rather than fumbling and fidgeting around in quiet desperation. You will be rewarded in the afterlife.
NOTE that as of Fall ’17 these instructions have changed as we’ve migrated to a newer version of Office.
Step one
Go to https://office.com and log in with your Skidmore.edu address if necessary.
Step two
Open your Calendar.
Step three
Create a New Calendar Event.
Step four
In the People section of the Details search for me.
Step five
Add some minor details about why you’d like to meet, then select a date and time using the tools on the right of the Details popup. If I’m available, it will say so, if not, it will say I am busy.
Step six
Hit Send and it will drop me an email to see if I’m available. (Sometimes I have meetings scheduled that aren’t in my public Outlook calendar.) You’ll receive an email that will let you know if I can make it or not, and some possible re-schedule times if necessary. If you use Outlook or Apple Calendar on your Mac, PC, or phone, it will also provide you with a convenient schedule link.
That should be all there is to it. If you have trouble, drop me an email the olde fashioned way.
