> Dear Academic Administrators and Officers and AOs,
> 
> As mentioned in the communications about the fall 2020 decisions <https://mit.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=88f983a0e3c2a43fb2a2eabd0&id=ad8e315e06&e=65bec7d95e>, we are introducing a new program, an iPad bundle for loan, to promote collaboration and small group problem solving for our enrolled students, whether remote or on-campus.
> 
> MIT will loan a cellular-enabled Apple iPad and Apple Pencil to any undergraduate or graduate student TA who does not already have one (or who wishes to upgrade relative to what they own). An email was just sent to all undergraduates about the program.
> 
> We would appreciate your help in letting your respective graduate student TAs know about this opportunity as well as keeping future TAs informed as new appointments are made. TAs can learn more and indicate whether or not they wish to enroll via this short form <https://mit.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=88f983a0e3c2a43fb2a2eabd0&id=d06b07b23d&e=65bec7d95e>.
> 
> Note: If a TA already has a comparable or better iPad and Apple Pencil of your own, there is no need for them to borrow an iPad from us.
> 
> Finally, as during the spring semester, MIT will once again loan WiFi hotspots and computing equipment including laptops to those who need them.
