Good evening, undergrads:<br><br>I am pleased to announce that <b>John
Reed '61, SM '65, Chairman of the MIT Corporation</b>, will be Senate's
Guest Speaker at our meeting on <b>Monday at 7:30pm in W20-400</b>. This
will be Mr. Reed's first visit to Senate since his election in June,
and we invite you to join us for an exciting discussion on the
Institute's future direction.<br>
<br>Similar to a board of trustees, the MIT Corporation is responsible
for electing the Institute's chief leadership (President, Executive Vice
President & Treasurer, Secretary, etc.) and also works to ensure
the availability of resources to support MIT's current and future
initiatives. As its Chair, Mr. Reed leads the Corporation in advising
the President on the Institute's strategic direction, drawing on
experience from past roles as Chairman of Citigroup, Inc. and of the New
York Stock Exchange. For more information on the Corporation, and Mr.
Reed himself, please see the links at the end of my e-mail.<br>
<br>Monday's meeting will be a unique opportunity to engage one of MIT's
most respected leaders, and I hope you will consider attending.<br><br clear="all">Thank you for your time,<br>Jonté Craighead<br><br>Speaker
of the Senate<br>
