Earth Month@MIT!!

[Jonathan S Krones]

Dear fellow undergraduates,

As chair of the UA Campus Sustainability Committee, I am pleased to annouce the
beginning of what is being informally referred to as Earth Month at MIT. 
During the month of April, numerous events will be held highlighting different
aspects of the sustainability community here at MIT, building up to the EcoExpo
on Wednesday April 25 and Earth Day on Thursday April 26.

Serving as a kickoff event is tonight's talk at 6:00 in Stata (with free
dinner!) described below.  I hope to see many of you there.  Please visit
sustainability.mit.edu for more information about opportunities to get involved
and do not hesitate to contact me with questions, ideas, or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Krones '07
Chair, UA Campus Sustainability Committee

With:
 * Rebecca Henderson, Eastman Kodak Professor of Management, MIT Sloan School
 * E. Sarah Slaughter, Senior Lecturer, MIT Sloan School

People often affect the world most directly through their careers. Join Dr.
Rebecca Henderson, Dr. Sarah Slaughter, and your fellow students for a 
discussion of social and environmental responsibility in the working world. 
Professors Henderson and Slaughter will share their personal stories, then we
will participate in a short facilitated discussion in small groups about ways
we can make a social and environmental impact through the work we do.  Also,
learn about the Graduation Pledge, a way to focus and express commitment toward
socially and environmentally responsible career choices.
