There is a correction. The Domeyard visit is on Wednesday, January 27. I have corrected it below.

Domeyard<http://www.domeyard.com/> is a hedge fund based in Boston, with a focus on extremely low latency trading. We are backed by several institutional investors and hedge fund veterans. We have a flat structure, where every full-time team member is a Partner. While the founding team are alumni of MIT (Dome) and Harvard (Yard), we have grown and diversified over the years. Our team of less than 20 people are in their early 20’s to late 40’s, and are alumni of companies like Google, Apple, Goldman Sachs, and more.

Improv Comedy Workshop to Improve Communication and Public Speaking
Tuesday, January 26th, 3:00 – 4:00pm, E39-040, Basement Classroom
This event is open to undergrad and grad students and postdocs.

Have you had that awkward moment in a presentation where someone asks a really weird question?
Has a student in class posed an off-the-wall idea while you are presenting?
Do you fear what a committee member may ask in your thesis defense?

This improv workshop will help develop skills to respond to such situations.

We will be doing improv comedy exercises to develop a comfort with engaging others. Participants should expect to participate in improv comedy exercises with attendees. Fun will be had by all...we hope.
(If registration limit has been met, please email Jake Livengood to be added to the wait list at livngood at mit.edu<mailto:livngood at mit.edu>).

About the facilitator:
Jake Livengood has worked in higher education since 2002 and provides career counseling with PhD students at MIT. He also "studies" improv comedy at the Improv Asylum in the North End of Boston. With the last name "Livengood," this career path is quite fitting. He has a PhD in Higher Education Leadership, thereby making him Dr. Livengood. (But please call him "Jake").

The Art of Behavioral Interviewing
Wednesday, January 27th, 1:00 – 2:45pm, 4-149

This workshop delivered by Bob Dolan will cover topics such as types of interviews, sample interview questions, appropriate dress, and important tips to think about before, during and after the interview. The intended outcome is to help you prepare and develop a strategy for a successful interview. In addition, sample behavioral and academic interview questions will be provided along with tips on how to answer these tough questions.
