[Webpub] Hello, goodbye - and a party tonight!

[Susan Curran]

Dear colleagues and friends:

As some of you have heard, I am leaving MIT to take a web communications 
position at the University of Oxford. I will be joining the James Martin 
Institute for Science and Civilization as Web and Publications Officer 
<http://www.martininstitute.ox.ac.uk/>

It has been a longtime dream of mine to live in the UK, but it wasn't an 
easy decision. MIT has been an amazing place to work - thanks in large 
part to all of you - who contributed images, words, ideas and your 
enthusiasm to make MIT's home page so unique.
I am leaving the MIT website in very capable hands. My colleague Rebecca 
Macri (rmacri at mit.edu) has been designing the home page for the last six 
months, and she will be taking over day-to-day management. If you'd like 
to request a spotlight, you can do so online at 
http://web.mit.edu/site/request.html or by writing to the team at 
spotlight at mit.edu

It has truly been an honor to work with all of you, and I have learned 
so much from our collaborations. Thank you for lending your creative 
energy, your genuine enthusiasm, and your friendship. I also want to 
thank my teammates - Rebecca, Hubert Pham, Brian Keller, Lisa Damtoft, 
Dave Conlon, the News Office staff, and especially Suzana Lisanti for 
their insights, and for making the job as fun as it was rewarding.

*Impromptu gathering Tuesday night*

Now, on to the fun part. I would like to invite you all to an informal 
gathering tonight from 5:30-7:30 pm at Middlesex Lounge, 315 Mass. Ave. 
near N42. Click for an Evite 
http://www.evite.co.uk/app/publicUrl/VMFOOOTSJKKWSNHOBWGQ/web-pub or the 
venue website <http://www.middlesexlounge.us>.

Even if you can't stay long, I hop you will pop in to say hi. Please 
extend this invite to your colleagues as well, and anyone I may have 
missed. If you want to reach me going forward, the best way is by email 
- susancurran at gmail.com

with all best wishes and many thanks,

Susan
