<div><b>Meeting notes from April 11, 2016</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>Thank you to Audrey Resutek, EECS communications officer, for talking about the approach to communications in her department. She’s doing great work to feature their students, faculty, and staff.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are looking for presenters for the May and June meetings. Contact me if you’re interested in sharing what you’ve been working on or speaking about a relevant communications topic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Century in Cambridge update</b></div>
<div>Rebecca Tyler brought posters, postcards and, yes, tattoos—and there’s more where that came from. Contact Rebecca (<a href="mailto:rjtyler@mit.edu">rjtyler@mit.edu</a>) or Rachael Weiner (<a href="mailto:rweiner@mit.edu">rweiner@mit.edu</a>) for supplies
to promote the Open House on April 23 and Moving Day on May 7. They are very appreciative of everyone’s support in promoting these events. Rebecca notes a few other things:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Open House and Moving Day are for MIT people to enjoy. Please bring friends and family.</div>
<div>- You can search, filter, and favorite 350+ activities on the <a href="http://mit2016.mit.edu/openhouse">
Open House</a> website. Take note of the distinguished lecturers: Robert Langer, Eric Lander, Robert Merton, Nergis Mavalvala, Wolfgang Ketterle, Jeff Hoffman, Mark Jarzombek, and Maria Zuber.</div>
<div>- Moving Day commemorates our move from Boston to Cambridge in 1916. No registration is required—just come and have fun. The river crossing and pageant are do-not-miss events that are unlikely to be recreated anytime soon.</div>
<div>- New event information for Moving Day continues to be confirmed almost every day, so for promotion details, check with Rebecca and Rachael or visit the
<a href="http://mit2016.mit.edu/movingday">Moving Day</a> website. Information on road closures will be available the last week of April; this will be announced as well, but it may be helpful to know it’s coming.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Social media presentation</b></div>
<div>There’s still time to register for Jenny Fowler’s presentation on <a href="http://commtoolkit.mit.edu/snapshot-of-social-media-trends">
Snapshot of Social Media Trends</a> on April 26.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div>The Events Calendar will be getting an update. Stay tuned for a survey about desired features and functionality.</div>
<div><b><br>
