Hi,

We thought the students in your group might be interested in the great events Prehealth Advising is hosting this week, which we have dubbed Prehealth Week! The fun starts today with Dr. Brewster’s discussion of her illness and unique journey to medicine at 3pm in 5-233, and of course we really want to make sure people know about our #MITPrehealthFair on Wednesday from 10am-2pm! Remember also the attachments which include a tip sheet to help prep for the fair!

Thanks!
