<div>Dear Departmental Administrators,<br>
<br>
</div>
My name is Alex Mijalis and I am a co-chair of the 2018 Congressional Visits Days, an annual event run by the Science Policy Initiative student group here at MIT. I am writing to ask that you forward the following announcement to the students in your respective
departments. CVD is a great way to learn about the policy making process and get involved in science advocacy. The trip is on March 12-13 and the application closes on January 29th at 5 PM. More details and the application can be found at
<a href="http://spi.mit.edu/cvd">spi.mit.edu/cvd</a>. Thank you in advance for your help!<br>
<br>

Sincerely,<br>
</div>
Alex Mijalis</div>
PhD Candidate, Pentelute Lab<br>
