Hi,

I know there are plenty of students at Drexel University who would like to see this happen. There's the Math & Computer Science Society, Drexel's Computer Science Dept, TechServ, and several other depts & student organizations who can pass the news along in flyers, announcements & at meetings. Send a message back how we can further help out.
