Once again, the ERSO Poster team created an amazing poster.

This year, the team focused on the ERSO Intranet- the Gears that Connect Us. The team, comprised of Alice Wong, Cathy Weaver, Diane Howe, Eboni Wilson, Gus Monino, Mark Bell, Jennifer Stone, Miriam Kader, TK Chen, Vonis Moore and Leslie Goldstein, worked tirelessly to create a 3-D, motorized and electronic poster.

This project was a true team effort where everyone had a chance to share their talents and creativity. We are so fortunate and lucky to have such dedicated team members who generously gave their time to develop this work of art.

The poster will be on display in the Cory Hall Mezzanine. If you haven't seen, please stop by to check it out.
