*TASK FORCE ON DIVERSITY QUESTIONNAIRE*

The GSC Task Force on Diversity is exploring how graduate students at
MIT view "diversity", and seeks the ideas and concerns our fellow
graduate students have about diversity issues within their
departments and MIT as a whole.

You may find the web site at:

http://gsc.mit.edu/diversity

You may also contact the Task Force directly at gsc-div at mit.edu.
This questionnaire is strictly confidential and voluntary.  You may
answer as many questions as you would like.  Thank you for your help
and we look forward to your comments.

*ENVIRONMENTAL WRITING CONTEST*

MIT Environmental Writing Contest: Exploring Solutions, Preserving
the Future

Will Your Words Change the World?

The Working Group on Support Issues invites faculty, students, and
staff to participate in the Environmental Writing Contest: Exploring
Solutions, Preserving the Future.

Do you have a solution to environmental issues, whether MIT-specific
or global in perspective? We want to hear about it.

Submitting your essay to Exploring Solutions, Preserving the Future
can result in great things, from being printed in a major publication
to a permanent home for your ideas in the Barker Library, or winning
free passes to the IMAX theatre at the New England Aquarium. Why not
share your ideas?

Winners will be announced at the MIT Earth Day 2006 event.

To learn more, including submission guidelines, a list of judges,
prizes, writing tips, research and writing resources, and information
on our IAP workshops, please visit:

Sponsored by: The Working Group on Support Staff Issues, the
Environmental Programs Office, the Department of Facilities, SAVE
(Share A Vital Earth), Students for Global Sustainability,
Terrascope, the Lab for Energy and the Environment, and SHASS (School
of the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences)
