New Calendar (Soft Deployment)
After a fair bit of code tweaking, I have been able to deploy a new version of the calendar that falls in line with ISU guidelines and the current WordPress build. We will be switching to this new calendar by the end of the week and phasing out the old.
New Volunteers
Brock Woessner and Luke Manwiller join the ATHENA team as volunteers. Brock is majoring in Agricultural Business; Luke is majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Both will be working with Tom on muscle wire and EMG.
