[Campus-boston-summer-staff] next steps for the event!

[Molly White]

Sorry! I'd be happy to send out the emails for NEU, but I'm afraid I don't
know/have access to any of the CS lists... Ali, do you have any idea about
how we could spread the word via email? I see on the mailing list that you
sent a message to ACM and some CS professors -- I suppose I could try
sending an email to some of my past CE professors...
