Work on Purpose
Workshops: Oct 20, 7 pm, Rm 56-154
RSVP: weinmann at mit.edu<mailto:weinmann at mit.edu>
Radius and the MIT PSC are offering three modules from the Echoing Green’s Work on Purpose curriculum. Work on Purpose helps people who want to find meaningful work to create careers that are right for them and have a positive impact in the world. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need to run a non-profit or have the next brilliant social enterprise idea (although those are good too!). It could mean identifying an industry or field that needs your skills to do better from a social or environmental perspective. Dinner will be included with each session.

Fellowships
Applications due: Fri, Oct 23, 12 pm
Tackle a great variety of human and environmental challenges in communities around the world! You can build your skills and reflect on your experiences to enhance classroom learning. To participate, you can work individually or as part of a team during winter break, summer, and the academic year. In this program, you will receive a stipend for your work, which typically goes towards living and travel expenses. Email hynd at mit.edu<mailto:hynd at mit.edu> with questions.
