Hello Undergraduates,
Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! I hope you are all enjoying your day off and catching up on some relaxation. Today is a great day for Netflix (started Stranger Things a few days ago), hanging with friends, and enjoying the outdoors before it gets too cold! For those of you looking for how to spend your day off, some fun things to do in the surrounding area today include:

  *   Sail on the Charles with friends
  *   Read a book or catch up on some work in Boston Commons
  *   Visit the Freedom Trail, the New England Aquarium, or Faneuil Hall Marketplace
  *   Attend Boston's biggest single day of FREE arts, cultural, and educational events through Fenway Alliance's 15th annual Open Our Doors Festival from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM (more information here<http://fenwayculture.org/programming/opening-our-doors/>)
