*Student Advisory Board Releases Final Report*

The Student Advisory Board (SAB) to MIT President Hockfield has released its
final report, entitled MIT in Transition along with a shorter executive
summary, to the entire MIT community.

The SAB, chaired by the GSC and UA Presidents, provided President Hockfield
with
an introduction to MIT from the student perspective. In addition, "MIT in
Transition" represents a snapshot of the many facets of MIT experience, and
what we might work towards for the future. The Board sincerely hopes its work
will prove valuable to the Institute as it plans for the future.
