<div>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.</div>

<br>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.<br><br><b></b> </div>
