The School produced a monthly newsletter (2011-2015) that mixes personal and professional information to improve collegiality. The newsletter was replaced by a blog and Facebook pages. All of these mediums frequently feature female-led activities and are edited by a predominantly female team. The School monitors the gender of the ‘likes’ and hits and note that some of the most popular blogs were written by women.
