Are you interested in having multiple free lunches with fellow MIT graduate
students across campus this semester? MIT is an exciting place, but with
the plethora of activities, research, and exciting opportunities at our
fingertips, it's easy to lose touch with the rest of the campus community.

MIT Connect is designed to create a more connected campus by arranging for
friendly, informal, platonic lunches between random pairs of graduate
students from all over campus, and all walks of life. We are providing *$10
in Tech Cash* towards selected lunches over the course of the semester for
participants in the program. Given the incredible interest last semester,
spots are limited and will be assigned via lottery so sign up and get
connected here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YB1z3Eitw5c5tfm1IDN329ZjINgO-i4J4oaDBR8cUio/viewform?c=0&w=1>

*4. [UA and VPR] Get Involved with the Red Flag Campaign*
*When*: Now
*Apply*: email <tweseley at mit.edu>or email <alicez at mit.edu>

This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the UA in
collaboration with Violence Prevention and Response is bringing the Red
Flag Campaign to campus to raise awareness of intimate partner violence
(encompassing physical, sexual, and/or psychological harm), abusive
relationship warning signs, and existing support resources.

Given that females between the ages of 18 and 24 and 25 to 34 experience
the highest rate http://www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/ of
inter-partner violence (IPV), we would like to target this campaign towards
both the undergraduate and graduate student populations.

Though we have undergraduates involved, we are in search of a graduate
student who would like to help bring the campaign to life for the graduate
student population on campus. Please reach out to either Tamar Weseley (
tweseley at mit.edu) or Alice Zielinski (alicez at mit.edu) if you are interested
in getting involved.

*Where*: Hair by Christine and Co, 217 Highland Ave, Somerville
*Email*: link <christine at hairbychristineandco.com>
*Phone*: 617-776-6470

My name is Christine. I own my own hair salon located in Somerville. We are
an extremely LGBTQ friendly salon and I am looking to extend my hand and
services to help out the transgender community. There is still a lot of
judgement that the LGBTQ community is faced with and I want to make sure
that  HAIR by Christine & co is always viewed as an absolutely NON
JUDGEMENT establishment. We just want people to walk in and be themselves
and leave a better version of themselves.

My heart has been deeply affected with all the stories and media
highlighting the transgender community and what the struggles are that they
go through on a daily basis. I feel compelled to help. I am offering FREE
makeup and hair consultations for those transitioning to help make them
feel beautiful and more confident on a daily basis. I have been working
with a client Michelle on her transition and it has been amazingly
rewarding for not only her but myself. I have always had such an open heart
for the LGBTQ community but now I feel like I have something to offer that
could really be great!

You can find me via email at christine at hairbychristineandco.com or by phone
at 617-543-3574. The salon phone number is 617-776-6470 and is located at
