Extended Day Program Newsletter
December 7, 2015
Dear Colleagues,
I recently learned about the Smores newsletter from Heidi Bergener at San Miguel. It sounded like a great platform to share updates, relevant research, news articles, and department information. My goal is to send it out weekly. Let's give this a try and see how it goes! I am open to suggestions on items you wish to see featured on a weekly basis.
Thanks for your feedback!
Here's to a great week,
