The presentation was very well received; the assembled Deans were very receptive and had lots of insightful questions.

Without your help, this presentation could not have been as persuasive as it turned out to be. In particular, I want to thank Sven Schlumpberger, Idan Blank, and Yunke Xiang for their help with data analysis; you guys are the best!

>> Dear Nathanial Randy and GSC - HCA members,
>>  
>> I wanted to thank you for all of your work and time dedicated this academic year on the cost of living analysis and stipend presentation, your appreciation for the process itself, your willingness to incorporate many of our suggestions into the presentation and to acknowledge the financial constraints MIT has to deal with in particular this year regarding research funding.  I think it was clear to Dean’s group the challenging rental situation in Cambridge along with a desire to give creative and deep thought to how to mitigate the possible negative impacts on the graduate community, as well as ensure that we remain competitive in terms of recruitment.  I look forward to discussion and consideration of this topic with Professor Zuber, The Chancellor, Deans group and I look forward to serving on the new Graduate Student Housing Working Group which I think will also be able to also contribute greatly.
>> Thank you again for your service to the graduate community.

>> All the Best,
