[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] Off-campus events and announcements

[Luke Jensen]

Dear fellow off-campus graduate students,

Congratulations on a semester-well-done! Here are a few announcements about
upcoming activities and opportunities for free food. From now on, each
newsletter will include a useful tip about a resource or benefit for
off-campus students that some of you may not be aware of. For this week,
the topic is MIT's discount program with Hubway bike-sharing - you know,
those sweet bikes parked at sidewalk stations all over the city.

If you have a suggestion for an event or an issue regarding off-campus life
that could be relevant for discussion with the GSC, please let us know.

Hope to see you at an event soon!

Your off-campus co-chairs,
Luke and Kelsey
