[Editors] Why is MIT the best?!

[Janet Wasserstein]

>To all:

I wonder if you might be able to help. One of my colleagues is 
writing a proposal and needs to provide some narrative text 
(including statistics where appropriate) on the following topics:

>
>1. "Evidence of [MIT's] strength in science and engineering, e.g., 
>recognition for curricular, faculty or student excellence by 
>external organizations; the availability of extraordinary scientific 
>or technical facilities or equipment; unusually high proportions of 
>undergraduates who continue their education in science or 
>engineering"  and
>
>2.  Any MIT "programs to interest young women in science or 
>engineering (# of female participants); programs to facilitate the 
>success of female students in these areas (# of female 
>participants); policies or practices that provide a nurturing 
>environment for women faculty."



If anyone has any documents or links that address any of the above 
could you let me know? Of course there is a lot of material and links 
that are available and we are looking at MIT Facts. But it just 
occurred to me that you might have something specific that could just 
fit the bill for any of the above points!
Thanks
Janet
