 ==Coalesce==
 Coalesce was the name given to an undergraduate e-community for CC/SEAS undergraduates planned by the [[Division of Student Affairs]] along with [[CCSC]] and [[ESC]]. First it got scooped by [[CUCommunity]], and then [[Facebook]].
-<blockquote>"The undergraduate e-community will provide several features including an on-line directory listing all the information that is currently on the main Columbia Directory.  In addition, the e-community will offer: a Facebook, a buddy list / personal network, and the opportunity for limited access to friends who have recently graduated."</blockquote>
+"The undergraduate e-community will provide several features including an on-line directory listing all the information that is currently on the main Columbia Directory.  In addition, the e-community will offer: a Facebook, a buddy list / personal network, and the opportunity for limited access to friends who have recently graduated."
 The above quote is from a November [[2003]] email inviting students to choose whether or not they would like their photo to be displayed when the site launched the following semester. It never launched. LionLink is likely what became of Coalesce.
