*Photo Safari Recruitment*

The PHOTO SAFARI is a brand new orientation event designed to be like a
combination of a treasure hunt (riddles, ciphers...), an underground
unconventional campus tour and a photo contest. It will show the new  
graduate students the history and culture of MIT by organizing them  
in groups to take photos at different places on campus, and entering  
a photo competition.

WE NEED HELP!! For this thrilling event we need around 35-40  
volunteers, and we are short of volunteers at this point.

Photo Safari details:
Date: August 28th, 2008
Time: 2:30 - 4:00 pm

So, we hope to get you to do the following.
(1) Sign up to volunteer!! It is just one afternoon for this cool  
experience.
(2) Get your friends to help out, we need many current students

Email Alex Chan at ahchan at mit.edu to volunteer!

*International Grads Mentorship Program needs more mentors!*

The International Graduate Student Mentorship Program (IGSMP) helps  
incoming graduate students in their transition to life at MIT. Join  
us in this effort by becoming a mentor and meeting new friends! The  
time commitment will be small and very interesting!  Please make sure  
to mention when you sign up if you want to mentor students from  
specific departments/countries etc. Mentors/Mentees will be invited  
to a International Mentorship Dinner in early September.
