<strong style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"><font color="#800A00">Susan Hockfield (1950–)</font></strong><font face="georgia, times, times new roman, serif"> is a Professor of Neuroscience and President Emerita at MIT; she served as the 16th president from 2004 to 2012 and was the first woman and the first life scientist to lead the Institute. During her tenure as MIT president, Hockfield shaped emerging national policy on energy technology and next-generation manufacturing, championing the breakthroughs in fields from clean energy to cancer emanating from the historic convergence of the life sciences and the engineering and physical sciences. As a life scientist, Professor Hockfield pioneered the use of monoclonal antibody technology in brain research and identified a set of proteins whose expression is regulated by neuronal activity early in an animal’s life.

Tired of the usual ‘industry vs academia’ question? Still deciding what to do after graduate school? Unsure about trying out a new field? Wondering how to transition from a student to a leader in the ‘real world’?<br>
<br>
Join us for a panel discussion about post-grad-school career paths, and becoming a leader in your field(s) of choice. We will have an incredible line-up of women to represent careers in academia, entrepreneurship, consulting, patent law, and non-profits. Once graduate students like us, they will share with us how graduate school helped them choose and excel in their careers, what the career trajectory in their field is like, what it is like to hold leadership positions as women, and to answer any questions you may have!<br>

Sexual misconduct is one of the defining issues of our time, and this event will be a good way for you to learn about the issues, two relevant bills in the MA Statehouse, and what you can do to help get them passed:<br>
- S.2203, which makes the process for how colleges deal with instances of sexual misconduct better<br>
- H.4159, which requires colleges to conduct a campus climate survey to have better data about the problem on their specific campus.<br>
<br>
Join us for a screening of “The Hunting Ground”, followed by a panel discussion with:<br>
- Leigh-Ana Rossitto from the Interfraternity Council Sexual Misconduct Committee<br>
- Alessandra Robinson or Duane de Four from Violence Prevention and Response (VPR)<br>
- Ivy Lee from the Every Voice Coalition advocating for S.2203 and H.4159<br>
- Nicole Eigbrett from State Representative Farley-Bouvier’s office, a sponsor of S.2203 and a strong supporter of H.4159<br>
<br>
This event is hosted by the MIT Graduate Student Council (GSC), Graduate Women at MIT (GWAMIT), MIT Interfraternity Council (IFC), and the MIT Panhellenic Association.</div>

Join us for a free half day conference at MIT on how the recent #MeToo movement has impacted higher education, specifically at the graduate level. There will be a mix of panels and workshops to encourage dialogue and learning between graduate students, faculty, activists, and other experts. <br>
<br>
The #MeToo movement, started by Tarana Burke in 2006, has highlighted the prevalence of sexual violence within all aspects of our society - from Hollywood to college campuses. As more survivors share their experiences, we need more creative ways to support, prevent, innovate, and collaborate on this issue. Many marginalized communities have led the fight to end sexual violence, yet history has put their work and experiences on the margins. In order to truly focus on prevention and support, we must elevate these communities and their leaders. The conference will be followed by a cocktail reception to share what was learned and build upon the discussion!</span></div>
