[GWAMIT] Announcements - Week of 10/13/2014

[GWAMIT]

Dear GW at MIT Members,

Happy Columbus Day! 

Interesting fact: Columbus was Italian, and today we celebrate Columbus' arrival in the Americas, which happened on October 12, 1492. Most importantly, this occurrence is celebrated not only in the U.S., but also in many Latin American counties, in Spain, in Italy, ad in the "Little Italys" around the world. Here at MIT, there are many Columbus: brave explorers of various fields of knowledge. Like Columbus, we should pursue our dreams without being afraid of defeat: a toast to all of us!

- Do you wish you could find a career that you are truly passionate about? 
- Do you doubt you are "good enough" to make your dream career happen?
- Are you tired of the self-doubt, self-consciousness, anxiety, lack of confidence, and self-sabotage? 

This interactive seminar dares you to step outside of your current mindset to see yourself and your passions from a new and exciting perspective. You will learn the tools to cultivate a mindset that works for you, not against you. Using principles of neuroscience, positive psychology, and life coaching, this seminar challenges you to find a "you" that you can believe in whole-heartedly, and shows you how to confidently pursue the career that is right for you.

4. Girls Day @the MIT Museum
When: November 8, 12pm-4pm
Where: MIT Museum

The Museum has invited Girl Scouts in the eastern Massachusetts region to participate in holography workshops which our Museum Educators will teach during the day. From noon until 4pm we have invited organizations to facilitate hands-on demonstration and activities. We would love if your organization could volunteer and organize an activity for the day. 

Last year we had more than 100 girls attend the both days during November and May. It would be great if we could have representations of women in science and engineering from around campus. Please let me know if your group would be willing to volunteer time during the day.
