Dear Departmental Administrators,

My name is Alex Mijalis and I am a co-chair of the 2018 Congressional Visits Days, an annual event run by the Science Policy Initiative student group here at MIT. I am writing to ask that you forward the following announcement to the students in your respective departments. CVD is a great way to learn about the policy making process and get involved in science advocacy. The trip is on March 12-13 and the application closes on January 29th at 5 PM. More details and the application can be found at spi.mit.edu/cvd<http://spi.mit.edu/cvd>. Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,
Alex Mijalis
PhD Candidate, Pentelute Lab
Department of Chemistry

*** Application Deadline: January 29th at 5:00 pm ***


The MIT Science Policy Initiative will be coordinating our own 2018 Congressional Visit Days (CVD) on March 12 and 13. After a seminar series here at MIT and a one day science policy crash course with the MIT Washington Office, we will set meetings on Capitol Hill to discuss the future of science with our nation's lawmakers. No prior experience with policy or advocacy is required.

SPI will support you with accommodation for the night of March 12th, a group evening meal/event, and travel expenses (flight and Metro) reimbursed up to $200.


Apply now - space is limited! The trip is open to all MIT undergraduate, graduate students, and post-docs.


Apply here: spi.mit.edu/cvd<http://spi.mit.edu/cvd>


Contact Alex Mijalis (mijalis at mit.edu<mailto:mijalis at mit.edu>) or Krysta Dummit (kdummit at mit.edu<mailto:kdummit at mit.edu>) with questions.
