Please be advised that again this year MARSHA MYLES is the Department Solicitor. United Way pledge packets have already been sent to one-half of the MIT community (distributed early by MIT Mail Services). Over the next week or two you will receive a letter from Marsha. In the meantime, please direct any contributions to her attention (M. Myles,18-284). Or, contributions may of course be sent directly to the United Way Office, Room 50-005.
If you are interested in finding out more about predoctoral fellowships in biological sciences, research training fellowships for the medical sciences and or postdoctoral research fellowships for physicians, then find this address on the internet: www.hhmi.org/fellowships. The site includes downloading applications. You may also call Ms. Trish Anderson, senior secretary for the graduate education program at (301) 215-8884 or fax your request to (301) 215-8888 or send email to: hhmi.org
Call Ed Udas at 253-4505 or stop by room 6-026 if students, faculty, or staff need help in organizing their MIT space.
Bob DiGiacomo will be coming in on Wednesdays or Thursdays to pick up any glass blowing work that you may have available. Please bring any work to room 6-031 or call Ed Udas or John Annese at 3-4505. Bob will do the work on a first-come, first-served basis
