FULL ANNOUNCEMENTS

=====================

1. The Office of the Dean for Graduate Education has eight openings  
for Graduate Community Fellows for the 2010-11 academic year.

Graduate Community Fellows are a cadre of graduate students who work  
on projects and assignments that enhance MIT graduate community in  
unique ways. Each Fellow reports to a staff member in the Office of  
the Dean for Graduate Education or in a partner organization, and  
focuses on a specific project. Fellows receive partial stipend support  
for the length of their appointment period.  Please see our web site  
for available assignments and an application form:  http://web.mit.edu/odge/community/gcfellows.html

We are accepting applications now through July 30, and plan to fill  
these positions by mid-August in preparation for graduate  
orientation.  Please contact me with any questions.
