Hub upgrade

The Hub is now available for students and staff. When you first log in, you will see a splash screen. You can ignore this splashscreen by clicking on “I’ll do it later.” Alternatively you can use this to upload your photo (PNG format) and link to either Twitter and/or Facebook by clicking on “I’ll update it myself.” This is optional. For further information about this, go to:
