<br>
We are pleased to announce a new effort at MIT sponsored by Chancellor Clay
named EnviroForum that we hope will create new opportunities for collaboration
among MIT's environmental community. Each EnviroForum event will bring
together faculty, students, researchers, and staff who are interested in
environmental and sustainability issues for informal discussion and
networking. Our hope for these events is that new connections among people
working toward similar aims can make existing efforts stronger and spark new
projects that benefit from integrating across MIT's outstanding environmental
education, research, and operations initiatives. The success of the event
hinges upon the participation of people from across the Institute's wide array
of academic, administrative, and operational departments. <br>
<br>
The first event takes place Thursday, November 6, </span></font>4:00 - 6:00 pm at the Stratton Student Center (W20, room 491); more information is given
in the announcement below. <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'> </span></font>Hope
to see you there!<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>

Justin Adams, Environmental Programs Office<br>
Jim Curtis, Environmental Programs Office<br>
Matthew Gardner, Ph.D., Program Administrator, Earth Systems Initiative<br>
