[game_edu] Tenure Track position open at Ithaca College

[Kim Gregson]

Here's the text of the ad. Let me know if you have any questions. It's a
chance to get in on the ground floor of a new major that has strong
institutional support. The school has a strong hands-on professional
history. I like the students - they're sharp and motivated. The faculty all
get along which is a very good thing.
