Black Women's Week (April 2007) - This week was an opportunity for us to share with the rest of the MIT community the things that we enjoy and the issues that concern us. During this week, we held a wide variety of events, ranging from a kickoff event (which MIT President Susan Hockfield attended) with poetry readings to a dinner with faculty and staff or MIT to a trip to a karaoke bar.
