Letter from the Admins

The Winter 2021 release will take us from version 1.21 to 1.22, which is the current version of Elentra. Compared to our Summer 2021 release, this one is much smaller and impacts fewer areas of the College. We hope you’ll take a moment to peruse the new features that may impact how you interact in E.Flo MD, and reach out if you have any questions!
