Hi Tang Hall Executives,

I am an MIT alum and member of AMITA, the MIT women's alumni network. We are holding a conference tomorrow that provides an excellent networking opportunity for MIT students both women and men (details below).

To encourage MIT students to come (most registrants are alumnae), we will provide the first 10 students that email me (aileenwu at alum.mit.edu<mailto:aileenwu at alum.mit.edu>) free admission to the lunch and workshops.

Do you mind passing it to the grad students in Tang ASAP? Any others lists you can forward the email too would be great. Thank you!

Best, Aileen Wu (Course 10, 2003)
