Hi Samantha,

We have a majordomo subscription email list called job-opp to which
many CS majors and some CS alums subscribe.  I forwarded your 
note to that list.  Unfortunately, that list does not
handle attachments, so if you would like me to send any
of the specific descriptions to that list, please send them to me
as ordinary text or send urls of a place where you keep them
that I could refer students to.

Thanks.
