Hi Undergrads,


Tomorrow night from 6-8pm is MIT I Messed Up
<http://mit.benchurl.com/c/l?u=7C68A85&e=CA96FB&c=BCBA2&t=0&email=euW8pQVPf07QNPIk%2BQ4Xo6BanR218rId&seq=1>,
an event hosted by UA Community & Diversity and all four class councils.
MIMU is meant to bring students across campus together to celebrate our
failures, mistakes, and misfortunes. The goal of MIMU is to show students
that failure is common among us, in a genuine, relaxed and encouraging way.

As a reminder, Committee Chair applications

be involved with the UA and provide input to ongoing initiatives on campus.

Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever, She Loves Me is a
warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world
elegance. Set in a 1930s European perfumery, we meet shop clerks, Amalia
and Georg, who often don't see eye to eye. After both respond to a "lonely
hearts advertisement" in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters
that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown.
Join us to discover the identity of their true loves...and for all the
twists and turns along the way!
