participate and volunteer in any or all of them.
The events calendar for orientation is located at the following

BTW, the GSC orientation committee is still looking for a few more 
volunteers to lead groups of first-year graduate students on sight-seeing 
routes around Boston and Cambridge for the event Camera Safari, to be held 
on Thursday, September 2.  We'll give you a camera, a route, and a group of 
bright-eyed first years, we just need you to put them all together for the 
afternoon.  For more details or to volunteer for this fun event, please 
contact Holly Waisanen, Camera Safari Coordinator: waisanh at mit.edu.
