MIT leaders, including me, will spend considerable time studying, reflecting on, and acting on these data. I hope you will take the time to make your opinion count, and I hope many of the 760 prizes being awarded to participants will go to members of our department!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
