[Gsc-hca-offcampus] Upcoming Events

[Jeffrey T Chambers]

Hi Off-Campus Grads,

Welcome back from IAP and to the start of a new term. I have received 
some good ideas for off-campus events this term, but we could still use 
more. So please email me if you have an event that you've been wanting 
to try and would like to use some MIT money to do it!

4. MIT's chapter of Amnesty International will be screening the film 
"9500 Liberty" on Tuesday February 15 from 730-930PM in room 66-110. The 
film is about how strict and harsh immigration policy can deeply divide 
and affect a community. Producer Chris Rogupolus will be there to give 
his perspective on the issue, and to help in the discussion to follow 
the film. Food, drink, and admission will be free, but donations to 
Amnesty will be accepted. For more information, you can visit the
