R U Shovel Ready? New Email List to Use to Stay Informed

Judging by the emails and phone calls we receive, the entire higher education world is buzzing with preparations to be "shovel ready" for the forthcoming stimulus package funding. We've created a topical email list for those who might like to be connected with others on this topic. You can join it via the Web here or you can join it by sending a message to "shovelready-request@umich.edu" with the word "subscribe" in the Subject line (no quotes in what you type). Anyone can join, there is no fee or SCUP membership requirement.

We're also gauging right now whether there are other ways SCUP might be helpful to people regarding "shovel ready"—the difficulty is, of course, that things are moving with lightning speed, which leave little time to think, plan, and implement any kind of resource.
