Hi Remy!

Sorry I have been travelling and only recently catching up with e-mail

Wonderful :) I've seen you around a little bit, but had no knowledge of your 
campus ambassadors interests! Are you a student, still, or an instructor at 
RIT?

Yes, yes, I've been jealously watching you RIT-folks kick some SERIOUS butt. 
:) Your campus is a prime example of what we'd like to see campus ambassadors 
start forming on ALL of their campuses.

Wonderful! I am sure that you have seen our wiki page[1] so you know roughly 
what is going on. Right now there are no meetings scheduled, but this may be 
as good a time as any to begin planning meetings. :) Right now, there is 
really not infrastructure behind CampusAmb right now, though with a few 
helping hands (*nudge* *nudge* ;) ) it should be fairly easy to lay those 
foundations.

Feedback on available times for weekly or biweekly Campus Ambassadors 
meetings? :)

Best!
