PROFILE
First thing to do is populate your GSA Connect profile
Upload a photo and add a bio to your profile so members know who you are. You can also link directly to your LinkedIn account for easy uploading. Any changes to your Contact Details (directly below your photo) will be made on your main geron.org profile page.
DISCUSSIONS
What is Open Forum?
The largest community on GSA Connect is the Open Forum. All members have access to this community. You can post a question or share a resource by clicking Network>Post A Message (be sure to select GSA Connect Open Forum in the To field). Any discussions that take place in the Open Forum will automatically be emailed to you in a Daily Digest the next day.
I only want ONE email a week, not one everyday
You can change your subscription preferences on your profile page. Click the My Account Tab when on your profile and select Community Notifications. Here you can check off a weekly digest option for each community and choose which day of the week you receive that email.
Reply to Discussions by Email
No need log in to GSA Connect every time you want to reply to a discussion. Simple use the Reply button in your regular email client. Type your reply in the body of the email and click send. The message will be posted to the community you replied to.
I Can't Join an Interest Group
When browsing the list of communities, all GSA Interest Group communities need to be added through geron.org on your main member profile. Simply click here to update your profile and select your interest groups. Click Save and navigate back to GSA Connect. You will now have access to the interest groups you selected.
