Eclipse Institute News and Notes :: September 16th
Hello All!
This last week has been great for Eclipse, and we want to thank you for playing such a big role in our successful launch!
This is a great time for Eclipse, and we want all of you to stay tuned to Facebook, Twitter and our site to make sure you don’t miss any of the big announcements to come! Over the next few weeks, we will be rolling out some great new features, and adding even more new classes!
– We were lucky enough to be featured at TechCrunch50 as a part of the Swarmforce demo. Swarmforce is a great company, and Eclipse is excited to be using their technology to power our Social and Community areas of the site.
– The next two weeks are what we call our “Preview Period.” During this time, we will be adding new stuff, fixing things that don’t work as well, and generally giving our site the finishing touches! With any launch of this magnitude, there are bound to be some hiccups, so we especially thank those of you who have shown us patience in the first 24 hours while we were ironing out some problems.
–Eclipse is about you! So please send us an email at admissions@eclipseinstitute.com with any suggestions, corrections, or ideas for new classes. We want to know what you think!
–The first classes are online and enrolling RIGHT NOW! To learn more info or to signup, give us a call at 877.749.7990 and we will guide you through getting signed up during this Preview Period!
Thank you all for the interest and passion you have shown, and we can’t wait to see you in class!
