Why is Cortana emailing me?
The Daily Briefing email is a new feature from Microsoft that helps you stay in control of your calendar and be intentional about your day.
Within a few hours of the start of your workday, you’ll get an email about any relevant items to help you better prepare for the day ahead, including:
COOL FACT: Cortana learns when you get to work, and sends the email based upon what she predicts is the start of your workday. The timing is different for everyone based upon their work habits.

Cortana is secure. Only you receive your personal daily briefing emails.
Your Briefing emails are based on information that you already have access to but can’t quickly aggregate without help. Briefing emails do not include any new personally identifiable information about anybody else in your organization.

Don’t want to receive the Daily Briefing email? Each Daily Briefing email provides an unsubscribe link within the footer of the email.

Not receiving the Daily Briefing email? Not to worry – it may take some time for Cortana to gather enough information in order to begin producing a daily briefing.
Your input needed in public safety survey
If you haven't already, be sure to fill out the law enforcement survey.

The District Department of Public Safety is requesting your input in a short 3-5 minute survey regarding law enforcement services for the District. Your opinion matters and will help guide decisions on ensuring the safety of our campuses.
Each submittal will be entered to win a $50 gift card valid at several eateries. Runners up will receive GCCCD COVID-19 Go-Bags with essential items such as masks, hand sanitizer and GCCCD Logo Goodies. The deadline to complete the survey is Dec. 18. A separate survey will be distributed to students.
