Women's Initiative is a non-profit student group at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology that sends pairs of graduate and undergraduate
students to approximately 10 school districts across the United States
each January during IAP. These women present to middle and high school
students in order to inform them about what engineering is, encourage
them to maintain an interest in math and science, and inform them about
what they can do to prepare themselves for the possibility of a career
in engineering. Each visit lasts about 5 days, we provide airfare,
hotels, and a stipend for food, and you will get the chance to interact
with many students and design an activity for your presentation! In
previous years, we have had pairs of students travel to Washington,
Hawaii, Miami, Alaska, and San Francisco to name a few.<br><br>We are
currently seeking Co-Directors for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Co-Directors help plan out the logistics of each trip, apply for
funding, communicate with the schools at which we are presenting, and
plan out presentations with each presenter pair. This is a really fun
program that has the potential to impact a lot of girls' perspectives on
engineering, so we encourage you to apply! If you have any questions,

recognizes outstanding teaching in undergraduate subjects with large
enrollments (such as those that satisfy the General Institute
Requirements in science), as well as in upper-level science subjects
with smaller enrollments.<br><br>For the Teaching Prize for Graduate
Education, preference will be given to nominees who teach mainstream
subjects in which fundamental principles of the relevant fields are
presented. Such courses typically provide the basis for advanced
education and research and prepare students for professional careers.<br><br>You
can nominate a professor teaching a GIR, a fundamental or more
specialized Science subject. Science subjects are Courses 5 (Chemistry),
7 (Biology), 9 (Brain and Cognitive Sciences), 8 (Physics), 12 (Earth,
Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences) and 18 (Mathematics).<br><br>Nomination
letters from faculty members or students for either award are welcome.
Nominations are EASY AND QUICK TO SUBMIT: simply fill out the <a href="http://science.mit.edu/teaching-prize-nomination-form" target="_blank">short online nomination form</a> by the deadline on <b>May 29, 2015</b>.
Although one strong letter is sufficient, additional letters of support
are useful. You may want to get fellow students or colleagues to submit
supporting nomination for your candidate. You can use one form or
multiple forms to do this.<br><br>Your nominations are really important!

Forum focuses on the impact of recent technology for understanding and
treating women. We will explore the differing presentation of heart
attacks, the unique spread of uterine cancer in minimally invasive
surgery and the earlier diagnosis of ovarian cancer, three major
problems in woman's health. The unique problems in these diseases
suggest that clinical trials must now include men and women in
sufficient numbers to define any unpredictable gender differences.
Practicing physicians, academic researchers and industrial R&D
professionals will share their interests and breakthroughs in
understanding and treating these female health issues. The impact of
planning future research, giving appropriate concentration to gender
specific manifestations of any disease will be discussed, stressing the
need for all caregivers and policymakers to understand that correct
diagnosis and treatment must account for differences between men and
women. Vive la difference which has been evident since the beginning of
the species and is still incompletely understood, but is now more
fascinating and important than ever.<br></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Anthony DiSciullo, MD</b>,
