Funded!

Matt here. Note: my screen name is Gillymonster.

I have been out of town and have been mentally and physically away from the Writing Center for the past week. I need to review the summit objectives and contribute my thoughts to its wiki. Maybe Sam has already posted to the summit wiki?

But I also have news: we are funded through the Student Computing Fee to build our revised e-mail tutoring system and new scheduling tool. I submitted the proposal in March. Today I was notified that we received a two-year, $24,000 grant to buy servers, computers, and ATS programming time. Great news!

That's what's up. More soon.

This is really cool! Congratulations on getting this grant.

Thanks, Sam. I suspected, given the fact that your trip to College Station was funded, that ATS had some advance notice about the Student Computing Fee grants. It's great news and means we can continue the process of creating our new online tutoring system.
