member, following which she joined the Boston Consulting Group, and then she became Harvard’s first Director of the Office of Institutional Research. She is now the Dean for Faculty Affairs and Planning at Harvard University. More details
<a href="https://pda.mit.edu/events/mit-pda-human-affairs-social-hour/">here</a>. I expect the roundtable conversation to be informal and attendees have the chance to randomly ask questions.
<span lang="EN-US">Hot Entrée, salad, and appetizers from Sebastian Café will be served. Please come and enjoy this social hour, open to all MIT postdocs. Welcome!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
