[Kayla Roberta Storme]

Hi everyone,


We hope you've had a smooth start to the Spring semester! Please enjoy our GSC DEI Newsletter!


1. Taste of Lebanon

The Lebanese club and GSC Activities committee are planning an event called "Taste of Lebanon" next week Wednesday, February 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM in Morss Hall in Walker Memorial. There will be plenty of delicious Lebanese food, including shawarmas and vegan/vegetarian options. We will have Baklava for dessert.


2. Introducing our newest committee members: Evelyne and Eric

Evelyne Ringoot will be serving as our new Vice Chair - Department and Classroom Inclusion and Eric You will be serving as our new Event Coordinator. We'd like to take this opportunity to welcome them to the officer team and have them introduce themselves!



  *   Evelyne Ringoot: Hi everyone, I am a first-year master student in Computational Science and Engineering in the JuliaLab. As part of the GSC DEI committee, I am looking forward to working around the feeling of 'belonging' at MIT for students from diverse backgrounds. When I'm not working on research, you might find me at the ice rink practicing figure skating, in nature hiking or skiing, or just hanging out with friends and exploring Boston.



  *   Eric You: Hi! I am a 1st year PhD student in Chemistry excited to promote and push for more equitable opportunities and inclusive events that celebrate our diverse community. Outside of research, I enjoy running along the Charles, baking cookies, reading mysteries/detective books, or playing videogames.
