diversity and inclusion, the Institute will host the Diversity
Leadership Congress on November 18th. The day is designed to give
participants practical tools and strategies to help lead diversity
efforts in their areas and foster a culture of inclusion at
MIT. Details about the program and speakers can be found at:
http://web.mit.edu/diversityleaders
Members of the community are welcome to participate in any of the
following ways:
(1) Prior to the Congress, community members may submit questions for
the panelists by writing to diversityleaders at mit.edu
(2) During the event, remote viewing will take place in the Student
Center (Mezzanine Lounge and West Lounge) as well as Room
E25-111. Attendees at the remote locations will have an opportunity to
contribute written comments to the Congress proceedings as well as to
participate in a facilitator-led debrief discussion. The remote
viewing will take place from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m., with the discussion
immediately following.
(3) After the Congress, the event video will be available
on-line. Several units are already planning group viewing and
