Individuals who employ the techniques of mindfulness in their work are able to monitor moment-to-moment effectiveness, respond promptly and appropriately to difficulties as they arise, and remain open to new ideas and perspectives. Participants will be introduced to meditation practices that will teach them how to be more focused, creative, and resilient in all aspects of their lives.</span></p>

Dan Beaudry, former head of campus recruiting at Monster.com, shares the potent job search system used by many international students to find U.S. employment. H-1B's are won in ways you likely don't expect. What you'll discover in this presentation may surprise you: Learn how to secure H-1B sponsorship at companies that have a policy against sponsoring H-1B visas; Learn why 80 percent of open jobs are never advertised - and how to find them before anyone else; Learn why human resources is often an obstacle instead of a conduit to finding a U.S. job-and how to bypass it; and Learn why submitting resumes online is not an effective use of your time-and how you can better invest that time. </span></p>

Yet existing research into student success is vexed and at risk of stalling. Entrenched rituals for garnering evidence are yielding diminishing returns. Dated myths are used to identify who students are and how they experience higher education. People lack data to help plan the really meaningful experiences which flowed serendipitously in smaller and more regulated systems. Drawing from 15 years working with hundreds of institutions in around 50 countries, this seminar presents insights from a work program executed to bring about sustained enhancement of the student experience. It concentrates on findings from recent Australian innovation which has defined new concepts for understanding higher education students, identified new data sources and assessment approaches, and engaged institutions in enhancement work and new conversations about students.

If “Charlie INSIDE!” is written on it, you are all set, and already have access. If not, you can visit the Card Office (W20-020) with your current MIT ID card to swap it for one with the MBTA chip inside it.
