NEWSLETTER | February 9, 2015

I hope second semester is starting off well for you.  We attempted to send out a newsletter today, and we received 102 bounce backs because Barracuda rejected the attachment in the original email. So we decided to post here as well. Please govern yourselves accordingly to the updates below. Thank you!
