LaunchNET News: Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

This just in, we have a new Assistant Director.
The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
I know what you're thinking.
It's Thursday on the second week of the semester and you're just now getting a LaunchNET newsletter?

Preposterous.

Much like the great grizzlies that roam our planet, I too must hibernate. And hibernation didn't end until this morning. Take it up with science if you must.

BUT in all this time I was hiding away, I didn't get a chance to share: we have a new Assistant Director!

Highlights for the week include: meeting Ms. Danielle Flemister; workshops, events, and more; social media for 2024, and taking care of the entrepreneur behind the business.
