TBTN at MIT consists of survivors, those who know survivors, and those concerned with ending sexual violence, gathering in a semi-public place to share their experiences with violence. Come support survivors of sexual assault at MIT - it affects us all. Share your own stories, or just come to be there for and listen to others.</span></p>

What does sustainability mean for communities, many of which are struggling to pay their bills during the recent economic downturn?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Dr. Sarah Slaughter '82 will discuss strategies for sustainability for communities that offer the opportunity to transform individuals, markets, organizations, communities and regions. Sustainability is the dynamic balance of social justice, economic opportunity, and environmental regeneration, which together establish the quality of life and harmony between the built and natural environments. Disaster-resiliency is the ability of the community to recover quickly and effectively from extreme events, including natural and manmade disasters. New approaches can combine the promise of sustainability with the urgency of disaster-resiliency to improve the viability and durability of communities.</div>

In recent years, in an effort to better represent changes in scholarship, curricula and politics, many Women's Studies programs have changed their names to incorporate new terms -- gender, sexuality, feminist -- even sometimes removing the word "women" altogether. Following our own discussions of these questions internally, we have asked 5 faculty members from across our member institutions to contribute their experience and expertise to the question: What's in a name? We hope the conversation can be both useful in informing the board as we make this important decision and intellectually exciting -- a chance for us to reflect on the state and contours of the field as a larger community. The focus in this conversation is dialogue and exchange, so we hope you attend and contribute your thoughts. We'd like to hear what you have to say about the state of Women's Studies (if that's even what you can call it!).</p>

<font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="border-collapse:collapse">The physics and biology of the overall vision process and of many individual parts is relatively well understood due to countless experiments that have been performed. However, the interactions of the various components within this process is far from complete, as the experiments almost always require the termination of the subject under investigation, and data over time is thus difficult to obtain. Analytic models of any components of the visual process are almost non-existent. In an attempt to gain important insight into the role and interaction of melatonin levels within the eyes and of the interaction of the photoreceptors, we develop and analyze mathematical models with nonlinear differential equations. We examine equilibrium solutions and the stability and bifurcations of them. We are able to show the essential need for inclusion of various pathways and interactions in any comprehensive biological model of the eye. Knowledge of such pathways and interactions has implications in the understanding of certain abnormalities and diseases of the eye. </span></font></p>

Do you want to help incoming MIT Graduate Women have a positive and successful experience?<br><br>What opportunity is available? Dean Staton, MIT ODGE , and MIT health advisors are working to create a Healthy Eating Guide For MIT Graduate Women By Graduate Women. The vision is to create a guide filled with healthy recipes from experienced female MIT-students, in addition to a listing of all the MIT and Boston area support options, with the hope that our new MIT graduate women will be able to better manage their first semesters at school, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and feel a stronger connection to the MIT community. Once we have compiled and published the Healthy Eating Guide, the ODGE would like to provide one copy to each incoming graduate women for years to come.<br>
<br>What can you do? For this vision to become a reality, we are looking for MIT graduate women representatives like you to submit your favorite healthy recipes to get the guide underway. Each healthy recipe will be cited to include the submitter’s name, course, and graduation year, so each healthy recipe submission will become an attributed legacy gift. Your recipe submission(s) should include the ingredients, cooking materials required (i.e. pots, measuring cup, etc.), approximate number of servings, instructions, and a picture if available. Deadline for your submission is April 16th. Submit your recipe(s) to Audra Bowcutt at <a href="mailto:abowcutt@mit.edu" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 204)" target="_blank">abowcutt@mit.edu</a>.<br>
<br>Respondent Prize: The first 15 students to submit a recipe will receive a monetary prize from the ODGE office!<br><br></font></font></div><div style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">
