News Blog A blog from Community Scholars, Inc. http://www.communityscholars.org/ Website Launch & Updates Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.communityscholars.org/website-launch http://www.communityscholars.org/website-launch We've finally launched our new website! Please take the time to look around and let us know if there is anything we might have missed.

This has been quite the lengthy process but fun at the same time. 

You can either visit the Contact Us page or E-mail me, Jose (Program Coordinator), directly. Either way, it's a great day to be a Scholar!

Our website's come a long way, especially from my days as an intern (2003). The photo I posted alongside this article reminded me of how technology, like our website, advances so quickly. For reference, we buy 8GB hard drives, nearly 800x as much storage space as the drive advertised, for about $9.
