<b>SAVE THE DATE!!!</b> <b>September 30th<br>
<br>
What: </b>The 4th annual MIT International Development Forum<br>
<br>
<b>Where:</b> Lobby 13<br>
<br>
<b>When: </b>Friday, September 30, 2005<br>
<br>
<br>
<a name="OLE_LINK1"></a>The 4th annual MIT International Development
Forum is in the works! We hope your group will plan to participate &
ask you to "save the date" of <b>September 30,
2005</b><a name="OLE_LINK1"></a>, as you make your plans for the fall.
<br>
<br>
The centerpiece of the day will be a Development Fair where MIT groups
and academic programs such as yours will be invited to showcase their
development-related work and/or course offerings. This will take place in
Lobby 13 from 1-3 pm (set-up 12-1pm). A panel discussion on
Thursday afternoon, a written guide to international development work at
MIT, a web-site, and follow-up gatherings and projects are also part of
our vision for the IDF.<br><br>
Our target audience for the event is incoming students -- both grad and
undergrad, but the event will be open to the public. The main goal is to
inspire incoming and continuing students to do work that promotes
justice, sustainable development and health in needy regions of the world
and to put them in contact with the resources at MIT for doing
it.<br><br>
Details about participating in the fair will go out to you later in
the summer.<br><br>
<b>Please RESPOND ASAP to this e-mail to tell us your LEVEL of interest
in the IDF: <i>Want to participate? Want to help plan? Want to help
fund</i>?<br><br>
</b>Attached is a list of all the groups who received this message. Who
have we missed? LET US KNOW so we can be in touch with them,
too.<br><br>
If you are no longer the contact person for this organization, please
tell us WHO TO CONTACT.<br><br>
Many thanks,<br><br>
<br>

on behalf of the IDF planning team. </blockquote>
