<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Although MIT has operated for over 100 years, it has never had a values statement. In order to advance progressive change, the
<a href="https://valuescommittee.mit.edu/">MIT Values Statement Committee</a> is charged with crafting a statement that is reflective of our shared purpose, expectation, and accountability for the MIT community. With this in-mind, we would like to gather input
from the postdoc community on what makes MIT unique, and what are our shared values. Please join us through a virtual town hall and share your perspectives and lived experiences.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
