If you'll be at MIT as a grad student next year, have you thought about applying to be a Graduate Resident Tutor (GRT) in one of the undergrad residential communities? GRTs serve a vital role as mentors and community-builders, and have a unique opportunity to work with undergrads as well as faculty and staff. They also receive free housing and a stipend. If you are thinking of applying but would like to hear more about the position from someone with first-hand knowledge, come to this informal presentation and Q&A with Residential Life Associate Marc Lo and a current GRT.

Your Voice, Your Words (Spoken Word Workshop)
MELLISA THOMPSON, Mellisa Thompson, Mellisa Thompson, Mellisa Thompson
Thu Jan 21, 01-03:00pm, McCormick Hall, Brown Living Room

Single session event
Spoken Word is a style of performance poetry that began in New York City in the late 80's and has become very popular on college campuses across the country. Spoken word involves one or more people performing a poem,
using voice, gesture, rhythm and pacing to enhance its meaning.
There are no formal rules or structure to writing spoken word poetry; informal language and free verse can be used for deliberate effect.
Rules of grammar are not mandatory as long as the message is
clear. Spoken word poetry can be a tool for advocacy, allowing people traditionally without a voice to be heard in a forum where words are the
main currency. During this laid back spoken word session, we will get the chance to participate in a few small public speaking/poetry activities and share some of our poems with each other.
