| Welcome to the e-Pulse, the electronic successor to the College's newspaper, The Pulse. The idea behind this newsletter is that we're all busy, and it's easy to miss things. So each week the e-Pulse will collect five news items from around the College and bundle them up for you in tweet-sized bites. Enjoy! |
