*Non-resident tuition reduction*

We are very pleased to announce that, effective Fall '07, non-resident
tuition will be set at 5% of regular tuition for the first three terms
of non-residency.  This reduction will save graduate students
approximately $1,800 per NR term.  The GSC has been working on this
issue for several years, and it is exciting to begin to see results.

*2007 MIT Career Fair Directors Needed*

The GSC is looking for its next two directors for the annual MIT Career
Fair. The Fair is:
   - The largest of its kind in the country, attracting over 290
     companies and 4500 students in 2006
   - Entirely student-run through a partnership of GSC, the graduating
     class, and the Society of Women Engineers
   - A large source of GSC's revenue for funding of graduate student
     groups and activities.

Shell, Bridgewater Associates, Google, and Schlumberger to campus or if
you have any questions, e-mail Vivek Jaiswal (vivekj at mit.edu) for more
