[mit-habitat-exec] Event Announcement

[Heidi Knuff]

>>Hello,
>>
>>My name is Tammie Warmus, and I work for World Education, a nonprofit
>>organization based here in Boston.  We are one of several groups
>>collaborating on a new project called the Boston Network for
>>International Development (BNID).  BNID seeks to be a clearing house of
>>information for students, academics, professionals, and community
>>members in the Boston area interested in international development (for
>>more information, see www.bnid.org).
>>
>>I wanted to inform the career office and students at MIT about a BNID
>>event planned for the Fall of 2005.  The first annual BNID International
>>Development Career Forum will be held on Friday, October 21, 2005.  The
>>purpose of the Career Forum is to provide opportunities for students
>>from a variety of different universities and fields of study to learn
>>more about career, volunteer and internship opportunities in the field
>>of international development.
>>
>>The Career Forum will be hosted at Boston University's Metcalf Hall,
>>and will be open to students from all Boston-area colleges.  The event
>>will kick off from 1:00-2:00 with a keynote speaker and panel/Q&A with
>>key development practitioners.  The panel discussion will be followed by
>>the career forum, open at to students from 2:00-5:00.  Vendors from a
>>number of companies and nonprofit organizations based in the Boston-area
>>and beyond will participate, including Oxfam, PeaceCorps, and World
>>Education.
>>
>>Would you be willing to assist us in communicating information about
>>this event to students at MIT? Also, can you recommend any student
>>groups or departmental contacts on your campus that might either be
>>interested in partnering with BNID to spread the word about the Career
>>Forum, or being involved in BNID's Student Network?
>>
>>Thanks very much, and please be in touch if I can provide you with any
>>additional information about this exciting event.
