The MIT Program in Women's & Gender Studies and Student Activities present a
REG DAY film screening of The Perfect Vagina. In an age where boob jobs,
liposuction, tummy tucks and botox are now commonplace it would seem that
women have found a new part of the body to worry about ... their vaginas.
Through our author's personal journey this documentary will explore this
fascinating secret world and question what or who is fueling women's desire
to have perfect vaginas.

Discussion with Professor A. Walsh, MIT Sexpert K. McCarthy and
Writer/Esthetician M. LaMarca to follow.

Free and open to the public. Light dinner provided.

This film contains graphic material. Viewer discretion is advised.

5. t=0 Entrepreneurship Conference Registration is open (Fri-Sun, Sept.
16-18)*
*When:* Friday September 16 - Sunday September 18
*Where:* MIT campus
*Info: *http://t0.mit.edu/
*Registration:* Free for MIT students http://t0.mit.edu/registration/

t=0 will function as a catalyst for entrepreneurship. Many students come
across Entrepreneurship as an engaging life path very late in their academic
careers at MIT. Our hope for this festival is to allow them to experience
the “ramen stage” of their startup while they still have a meal plan and the
flexibility of student life. We hope to teach them about how to be
successful entrepreneurs, inspire them to change the world and empower them
with the skills necessary to execute their ideas in meaningful ways.
