> Dear Colleagues,
>
> Personal stories of MIT students are the backbone for the Campaign  
> for Students message. Beginning this week, these stories will be  
> shared with MIT's friends and supporters on The Human Factor site,  
> http://thehumanfactor.mit.edu. We invite you to visit the site now  
> to see the preview video of our first nine students.
>
> Starting November 1, one student will be highlighted each month,  
> and they will tell their stories in a series of videos. Each month,  
> donors will receive an e-mail from MIT introducing the featured  
> student, and reminding them to visit the site throughout the month  
> to see additional videos. A PDF sample of the first e-mail to  
> donors is attached.
>
> The Web site will also give donors and friends important  
> information about the Campaign for Students and its four  
> priorities: undergraduate scholarships, graduate support, the  
> undergraduate commons, and student life and related capital  
> projects. The site will link directly to the Giving site to  
> facilitate online giving. Additionally, the site will link to the  
> many different parts of MIT - departments, labs, and activities -  
> in which the featured students are involved.
>
> Later this month, and again in March, select donors will be mailed  
> a collection of student "trading cards," one for each student  
> featured in the quiet phase of the campaign, that tell when each  
> student will be featured. Five cards will be mailed this month  
> along with information about the campaign; the remaining four cards  
> and additional details about the campaign will be mailed in March.  
> A PDF example of one of these cards is also attached.
>
> We encourage you to visit http://thehumanfactor.mit.edu to watch  
> the preview video, to share the Web site with friends of MIT, and  
> to return every month to see the new student videos.
>
> Many of you have put forward, and continue to put forward,  
> exemplary MIT students to be featured in the campaign. You will see  
> some of those students in the current materials, and many more will  
> be featured throughout the campaign. Thank you for your continuing  
> help in this effort.
>
> Lastly, please feel free to forward this e-mail along to other  
> staff members you believe should be made aware of campaign  
> communications.

> Thank you,
