Director’s Note: Eship listserv is all treats
Happy fall, everyone. Might get some snow showers tonight in Ithaca! Every once in a while, we like to remind people that the BEST way to stay on top of the Cornell eship ecosystem is to subscribe to our listserv. Currently there are over 6500 members, and all members can send messages (all messages come to me for approval first). Events, job postings, customer discover requests, mentoring opportunities, etc., all get pushed out to the listserv. Just go to https://eship.cornell.edu/, scroll to the bottom and you will see where to join. Happy Halloween!!
