Write a letter to our new Vice President for Student Life

[Allan Sadun]

Hi undergrads,

(Happy end of finals!)

Thanks so much for all that you've written so far - we mentioned this
project to Suzy Nelson and she is very excited to hear from you!

She's especially curious to hear a variety of perspectives and/or
suggestions on *public service*, *arts* at MIT, student *wellness*, student*
confidence*, and/or *campus-wide community / connection to MIT as a whole*.
But don't feel obligated to write about one of those things - just tell her
about your slice of MIT, whatever that may be.

So please keep the letters coming! The deadline is *tomorrow night*.

Best,

Allan Sadun
MIT Class of 2017

P.S. If you're super pressed for time and can't spare even a couple
sentences, don't sweat it. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk to
Suzy when she arrives and gets her MIT email address; we're just trying to
get her off on the right start.
