Dear SAVE,

We are pleased to announce a new effort at MIT sponsored by Chancellor Clay
named EnviroForum that we hope will create new opportunities for
collaboration among MIT's environmental community.  Each EnviroForum event
will bring together faculty, students, researchers, and staff who are
interested in environmental and sustainability issues for informal
discussion and networking.  Our hope for these events is that new
connections among people working toward similar aims can make existing
efforts stronger and spark new projects that benefit from integrating across
MIT's outstanding environmental education, research, and operations
initiatives.  The success of the event hinges upon the participation of
people from across the Institute's wide array of academic, administrative,
and operational departments.  

The first event takes place Thursday, November 6, 4:00 - 6:00 pm at the
Stratton Student Center (W20, room 491); more information is given in the
announcement below.   Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Members of the EnviroForum Organizing Task Force:

Justin Adams, Environmental Programs Office
Jim Curtis, Environmental Programs Office
Matthew Gardner, Ph.D., Program Administrator, Earth Systems Initiative
Amanda Graham, Ph.D., Education Program Manager, LFEE
Jeremy Gregory, Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student
