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

[Luke Jensen]

Dear fellow off-campus graduate students,

It's a light news week from off-campus, so we'll cut to the chase! 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. If you
have an event that you would like advertised to this list, use this
form<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHdpb0hOTzZjS2tyal83Qnhqd3pmclE6MQ#gid=0>.
We're always looking for help brainstorming and organizing new events.

Your off-campus co-chairs,
Luke and Kelsey

At this point, this Shuttle Line is a pilot program. Its continuation in
2014 will depend on ridership numbers. So if you live in some of the areas
served by the new line and if you are interested in using the line in the
future, please consider using it as much as possible from September to
December. We need you to advocate in favor of the line in the future!

If you have any question or recommendation, please contact us at
gsc-hca-transportation at mit.edu.
