[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] Fwd: Reminder Publicity

[Kevin Cedrone]

Dear fellow off-campus grads,

I am e-mailing to remind you of tomorrow's Forum on Kendall Square
development. Off-campus graduate students are among the most profoundly
affected by the development of Kendall.

After this special announcement we will return the off-campus list to its
regular low frequency traffic of 1-2 emails per month.

Kevin and Kelsey

*EVENT*: MIT’s Plans to Change Kendall Square: *A Forum for Undergrads,
Grads, and Postdocs*

*SPONSOR:* The MIT Graduate Student Council, Undergraduate Association, and
Postdoctoral Association

*WHEN*: 6:00 - 7:00 PM, 06 February 2013
*WHERE*: 1-190
*URL:* http://gsc.mit.edu/kendall-rezoning-forum/
*Food will be provided*

Very few projects in MIT's history have proposed to reshape the
immediate campus more than MIT's currently filed rezoning petition before
the Cambridge City Council. In addition to proposing *three new commercial
buildings* between MIT Medical and Sloan, it aims to create a new *Easter**n
Gateway* to the campus, bring *ne**w retail* to Kendall Square, and deliver
*ad**ditional housing* along Main Street.


As members and stakeholders of this campus, we believe students (UG and G)
and postdoctoral researchers should be informed of the specifics of this
proposal, hear the opinions on both side of this debated topic, and have
the chance to arrive at their own opinions.

As the discussion continues at the City Council, students and postdocs have
a very real role to play in articulating their views as members of MIT and
residents of Cambridge and Greater Boston. Please join us on February 6th
to learn more and offer your feedback
