help us on the planning committees! This is a great opportunity to get some
event planning and leadership experience, get to see how we work as a

NE GWiSE is having its second annual Spring to Action event! This year it
is called *"Roles and Relationships: A Summit on Mentorship in Grad School
and Beyond"* and will be hosted by Harvard University. The goals are to
help schools identify different types of mentoring-related programs they
can implement, give them tools/resources to start them, help them improve
current programming, and decide how to measure their program's impact.

The day will include an inspiring keynote speaker, an exciting panel of
mentees talking about their experiences, a mixture of workshops, and an
optional mocktail hour for networking and socializing!

Volunteer with Beautiful Patterns!

Beautiful Patterns is a small volunteer group in MIT cosponsored by MISTI,
running a teaching session for teenage girls in Mexico over the Memorial
Day week for the last 4 years. *They need 100 female engineers to help
them!*

If you want to learn more about their program, they are having information
sessions this January (see poster), and you can find the details of their
program here <https://dreamgrande.io/>.
*5. How to Handle Negativity*

*When:*  Thursday, January 10. 10-11 am.

*RSVP:* here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnuQgJ86r9OtjGW5nd8eeNGR0JDhjNGo9kdwjIzGoHBbo7Yg/viewform>

Life can be disheartening. Things go wrong, people do wrong, we ourselves
do wrong. Our best-laid-plans can be wrecked by one massive upheaval or
thwarted by a million tiny bumps. Either way, we end up feeling like giving
up. Amidst such discouragement that may come upon us from a hundred
directions, a few Vedic Principles can be a vital morale-booster.

Join us for a four life-changing session to explore ancient techniques from
Vedic text to handle negativity and develop positive thoughts.
*6. Graduate Workshop on Leadership Development*

*When:*  Tuesday, January 15. 12.30 - 3.30 pm.
