I’m writing to remind everyone that MIT Commencement in on Friday 6/4 starting at 1:00 (see below). This year’s speaker is Bryan Stevenson, the founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, a Professor of Law at New York University School
of Law, a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Prize. </div>

If you have not previously heard Bryan Stevenson speak, I encourage you to attend the Commencement webinar that begins at 1:00. He is an amazing and powerful speaker and story-teller. I expect that his Commencement talk will be outstanding. </div>
