Being Mortal Medicine and What Matters
In the End By
Atul Gawande
In Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending.
Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession’s ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers ex-amples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hos-pice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.
Full of eye-opening research and riveting storytelling, Being Mor-tal asserts that medicine can com-fort and enhance our experience even to the end, providing not only a good life but also a good end.

NLM HARRY POTTER EXHIBIT COMING TO HSL
“In 1997 J.K Rowling introduced the world to Harry Potter and a literary phenomenon was born. Millions of readers have followed Harry to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wiz-ardry where he discovers his heritage, encoun-ters new plants and animals, and perfects his magical abilities. Although a fantasy story, the magic in the Harry Potter books is partially based on Renaissance traditions that played an im-portant role in the development of Western science, including alchemy, astrology, and nat-ural philosophy. Incorporating the work of several 15th- and 16th-century thinkers, the seven-part series examines important ethical topics such as the desire for knowledge, the effects of prejudice, and the responsibility that comes with power. This exhibition, using ma-terials from the National Library of Medicine, explores Harry Potter's world and its roots in Renaissance magic, science, and medi-cine.” (NLM Web site) Visit the online exhibit

FINDING YOUR OFFICE PROGRAM CODE
CUMC students are eligible for a free, full version of Microsoft Office for Windows or Macintosh via the Microsoft Student Software Portal: http://cuit.columbia.edu/cuit/software-downloads/microsoft-student-
software-portal.
If you don’t install the program soon after downloading, or need to find your product key or other license information for it in the fu-ture, simply log back in to the software portal at: http://columbiait.onthehub.com, select the Your Account/Orders link in the upper right, and look for the program under the Order De-tails heading.
A Help link in the upper right of the portal has more answers to common questions, as well as information on contacting support.
If you were contacted recently regarding CubMail disabling or re-ceiving an Exchange email account and have concerns or questions, here is a quick review that should help:
Messages addressed to your “[email protected]” account can still be received, however you must have it set to forward to your Ex-change “[email protected]” account. Visit: http://cuit.columbia.edu/cuit/manage-my-uni and select the UNI Mail For-warding link to set or double-check this.
Account space in CubMail will be removed, you will be notified by email of the time frame though it is usually 31 days after CubMail is set to be disabled. This means that any emails or other account data you still have in CubMail will be deleted.
To decide whether you need to download or otherwise save infor-mation from CubMail, consider when you first set up forwarding to Exchange. Whatever was forwarded was sent to your Exchange ac-count; check Outlook on your computer if it was set up to connect to Exchange, or log in to the Outlook Web App at: https://
mail.cumc.columbia.edu/owa to see what messages and folders are there. Chances are your messages are either duplicates of CubMail
data since forwarding was set up, or you chose an option in forward-ing to not keep copies of messages in CubMail; either way you may not need to worry about downloading them.
If there are contacts, sent items, or other folders and data you want to save from your CubMail account, see instructions on our website: http://cumc.columbia.edu/it/howto/email/cub.html for Windows computers http://cumc.columbia.edu/it/howto/email/cubmac.html for Macintosh.
Your Exchange email account will use a different password than your UNI. The myPassword website at: https://mypassword.cumc.columbia.edu can be used to instantly change or troubleshoot problems with your Exchange login, similar to the Man-age My UNI website. It is fine to use the same password for both Exchange email and your UNI account, just keep in mind that they won’t automatically synchronize if you change either in the future. Information on why the move is happening is at: http://cumc.columbia.edu/it/howto/email/upgrade.html.
Please contact us with any other questions or suggestions, we realize that email is one of the most important services used by CUMC fac-ulty, students and staff.
