*Coordinators needed for Dinners with the Dean*

Dean Steve Lerman is searching for two coordinators for
Dinners with the Dean. This is a great way to get to know a
senior member of the MIT administration.

Dinners with the Dean is a series of up to four dinners each year
with Dean for Graduate Education Steve Lerman.  Coordinators of the
series will work with members of the Office of the Dean for Graduate
Education, including the dean himself, to plan each dinner.

The series is meant to be a forum for graduate students to express
their concerns directly to the dean.  Dinners are generally held at
the MIT Faculty Club for 25 randomly-selected graduate students.

If you are interested in this position or would like more information,
please reply to Heather Fry of the dean's office at heatherf at mit.edu.

*Kauffman Innovation Seminar*

Wednesday, November Nov. 5th, 5pm-6pm
Food and Drink, 6pm -7pm
Room 1-390
-- Please send short RSVP note to awankerl at mit.edu --

*Speaker:
Julie Gerstenberger
Director External Alliances and VP
Eastman Kodak Company

*Abstract:
In today's open innovation environment, few innovations can be
accomplished in one organization alone. Universities, start-up
companies and corporate R&D all interact at different stages and,
at least in theory, can complement each other and enhance overall
innovation efficiency.

During the seminar, Julie will set up our discussion topic of open
innovation in and between organizations based on some of her own
findings and insights. She will then engage with you in the
exploration of the great opportunities and barriers that exist,
why they exist and what it takes to overcome the barriers and make
good on the opportunities, with plenty of hands-on examples based
on her experiences.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Stellar Advisory Board*

The Stellar Advisory Board is looking for a graduate student
representative to contribute in its management and innovation.

If you are interested in this position,
please email gsc-secretary at mit.edu
