Hi undergrads,

The UA Committees on Innovation and Technology have been planning *a
makeathon for
improving student life at MIT*. From Coffeehouse Lounge to SaveTFP to
Borderlines to Firehose to xoxo to Medlinks finals snacks, *student-run
projects can improve our lives in small but meaningful ways*. If you've
ever had an idea to improve life for yourself and those around you (but
didn’t know where to start) then this event is for you!

Admins from all offices will be there, we’ll have plenty free food,
workshops, support and be giving out substantial grants, to help us all to
build a better MIT. *We'd like to hear what ideas you might have*, and the
types of workshops or resources you'd benefit from.

Let us know in this survey: http://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_

CASE is trying to match undergraduates who need affordable places for
family members to stay during graduation with faculty members that would be
willing to host them for the duration of commencement. Last year, we
successfully matched 20+ families with hosts for commencement. If you
believe this initiative fits your current situation and would help you and
your family, please fill out the survey so that we could gauge student
interest and potentially match you with an MIT faculty or staff member that
is open to hosting your family during commencement.
