used to inform our discussions with the MIT administration (while respecting
the confidentiality of participants). As part of this initiative, we are
currently recruiting participants for a focus group consisting of students who
identify as men. The session will be virtual and will last for 60 minutes. The
discussion will center on the various relationships we forge at MIT, such as
those with our advisors, departments, mentors, and peers, as well as
aspirations for our careers and life beyond MIT. Your views will provide us with
valuable insight into the experiences of MIT’s graduate students, which will
help add context to existing survey data. To show our appreciation for the time

session. </span><b><u><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></u></b></font></p>
