First Issue of the GLC Newsletter

November 12, 2012

The Great Lakes Center is pleased to announce the first issue of our semiannual newsletters. The main goal of these newsletters is to give an update on our activities for the past 6 months to our friends, colleagues, and anyone else who’s interested in what we do. We normally produce an Annual Report at the conclusion of each fiscal year, but adding two newsletters a year should allow us to focus on everything that happens in between. One issue will be released in the fall after our field work has been completed, and the other will come out in the spring.

Since this is our first newsletter, please feel free to give us feedback and suggestions for future issues. If you would like to submit content for the spring issue, please contact us.
