New Draper Society Website Launched Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Posted by Rahul Sengupta in : Announcements , add a comment

We have relaunched the Draper Society website as a blog, so it’s easier to see announcements and upcoming events. Here’s what’s new:

The Listserv will still be our main method of communication and I encourage everyone to join the listserv by sending a blank email to join-draper-chemsociety@forums.nyu.edu. To access the messages on the Listserv without logging in, you can click on the “Enter Listserv” link to the right of this page.

This blog is a work in progress; there may be a few changes to streamline the experience over the next few weeks.
