</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><span class=""><span class="" style="font-style: normal;">These are remarkably difficult and unprecedented times, affecting each of us in different ways. There is a lot going on at all levels, individual,
subject-specific, lab-specific for those doing UROPs, departmental, and Institute-wide. Of course, issues extend beyond campus to the city, state, national, and world-wide levels. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><span class=""><span class="" style="font-style: normal;"><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><span class="" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="">With the hope of providing updates on things going on in the department and at MIT, to get feedback, and to facilitate open discussions, we will be
hosting a zoom meeting open to all Course 7 majors on Friday April 24 at 3:30 (EDT) (zoom info below). </span><span class=""> </span></span></div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><font face="Palatino-Roman" class=""><span class="" style="font-style: normal;">Please think about how your classes are going, the transition to online teaching and learning. We would like to know your thoughts
on how the experiences and processes could be improved. What questions do you have about the current situation and how to think about and plan for the summer and fall?</span></font></div>
