Where:   Room 6-120

Do you wonder about the merits of working in academia versus industry?
The academic career series is a set of seminars held by the GSC aimed
at all MIT students who are interested in an academic career.
The first seminar, "Academia, Industry, or Both?" will hold a panel
discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of academic jobs,
versus careers in industry, and the ability to work in both fields.
The panel will be made up of scientists and engineers who each have
extensive experience both in academia and in industry; all graduate
students and visiting scholars are welcome to attend.

What:     Help Welcome New International Students to MIT
Contact:  http://gsc.mit.edu/index.php/orientation/airport-shuttle/139-airport-shuttle-volunteer

We are in need of volunteers to help with our airport shuttle.
It will be a very small time commitment and it will have a good impact
for a student who is new to America and MIT. I hope that you can help
volunteer and be the face to an incoming international student.

If you are interested, please sign up here
