please fill out the application at: <a href="https://engage.mit.edu/submitter/form/start/478776" class="">https://engage.mit.edu/submitter/form/start/478776</a>. If you have any questions, please reach out to <<a href="mailto:asa-treasurer@mit.edu" class="">asa-treasurer@mit.edu</a>>
and we can discuss. We are happy to work with groups to fund their ideas for virtual events to support any way our campus can stay connected or groups can adapt to a virtual environment!</font><br class="">
