Hi Undergrads,

Congrats on finishing Spring semester classes, and good luck with finals
next week!

Thank you to everyone in the MIT community who participated in the AAU
Sexual Misconduct survey! More than 2,100 MIT undergraduates and 2,500
graduate students responded - more than 40% overall - with good
representation from each of MIT's five schools. Findings from MIT's survey
and AAU aggregate results will be available in early Fall 2019.

As a reminder, the faculty recently approved the proposal to update MIT’s
academic calendar and commencement timing starting with the 2019-2020
academic year. More information can be found here:

Have a fantastic summer!

cost. Look out for an email from the Registrar’s Office inviting you to
download the Blockcerts Wallet app on your mobile device and add MIT as an
