time commitment will be small and very interesting!  Please make sure

specific departments/countries etc. Mentors/Mentees will be invited  
to a International Mentorship Dinner in early September.

*APO Book Exchange*

Old books to get rid of?  Looking to add to your collection?  Your  
community book exchange can get you the best deal, whether buying or  
selling.  Here's how it works: If you want to sell, drop off books  
between 8/25 and 8/29, 12-2pm and 4-7pm, in W20-415.  You set the  
prices and we do the rest.  If your books sell, you get a check; if  
not, you get them back.  If you want to buy, come to our temporary  
bookstore in W20-307 (Mezzanine Lounge) between 9/1 and 9/5,  
10am-5pm.  For more information, and to browse the books that have  
already been entered into the Exchange, visit http://apo.mit.edu/ 
bookex.  Questions can be directed to book-exchange at mit.edu.  Hope to  
see you there!
