<b>11/5<br>
</b><u>IDEAS/GLOBAL Challenge: Initial Proposals and Grants for
IAP<br>
</u>IDEAS and Global Challenge are an annual invention and
entrepreneurship competition that support innovative service projects
(services and prototypes, alike). Initial proposals can be submitted
by the 5th of every month through March. All teams must submit at
least one initial proposal. If you're in search of funds to develop
your idea (i.e., for materials or traveling over IAP), submit a grant
request. In that process, we'll connect your team with staff members
to provide feedback on how to make your proposal stronger and other
opportunities for growth. We can also help connect you with a
mentor or community partner, just ask. To be a part of the IDEAS
Competition and MIT Global Challenge, sign up at <a

students, and partners provide gifts to over 600 children affiliated
with 13 local service agencies. Co-sponsored by the MIT Public Service
Center and the Panhellenic Association, the Giving Tree allows
participants to choose specific gifts for specific children, making
the gift-giving process a more personalized one for all. Here's
how to participate:<br>
1.) Stop by the MIT Public Service Center (PSC) at 4-104 between
November 22 and December 14 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm). 2.) Pick up a gift
label for a child--or choose more than one! 3.) Purchase, wrap,
and place the gift label on your gift, and return it to the PSC in
4-104,<b> NO LATER than 10AM on Tuesday, December 14</b>.

<b>12/2<br>
</b><u>PSC Grants application deadline<br>
</u>Public Service Center Grants enable student service projects
during the semester and over IAP. They have a rolling deadline, but if
you plan to travel at the beginning of IAP we have an application
deadline of December 2! Turn in your proposals, and turn your service
ideas into action! Expedition Grants, supported by the
Underclassmen Giving Campaign and the Alumni Association, enable
continuing MIT students to travel to an unknown community and explore
solutions to problems. Students have recently used Expedition Grants
to start projects in New Orleans, Mexico, and Cameroon! Learn more at
