Hello New House,

Hope you had a great weekend and that some of you attended some of our highlighted events! This week and next week will definitely be busy times with Spring Break coming up, exams and projects being due and many groups holding events. Remember to take some time out for yourself and to make sure you’re sleeping and eating regularly- if you feel like you need a break or things have gotten to be more than you can handle, please reach out to your GRTs, me, our housemaster Dr. Harris, or any number of resources across campus like S^3 or MIT Mental Health. We’re all here to help, whenever you need it- all you have to do is ask.

This Week @ MIT:

  •  Last week’s cancelled UROP Panel and Social will now be held this week. Are you currently looking for a UROP or thinking about looking for one? Want to hear from people who’ve actually done one? Come to the UROP Panel & Networking Social, sponsored by MIT’s RBA residences (New House, Next House, Maseeh Hall and McCormick Hall) on Thursday from 3:30 PM-5:30 PM in the Bush Room (Lobby 10, Room 105)!  You can come at 3:30 PM or at 4:30 PM and sit in on a student panel where you’ll hear what students have done previously and then get a chance to network with others who are looking and learn about potential opportunities for this summer and beyond. E-mail me at reedjm@mit.edu if you want more details.
  • If you’re interested in graduate school or in becoming a professor, there will be a panel on the subject on Tuesday, March 12th in the BSU Lounge at 6:30 PM.
  • GlobeMed @ MIT is sponsoring a talk on Monitoring and Evaluation in Global Health by Dr. Lisa Hirschhorn- it’s on Wednesday, March 13th at 7 PM in 6-120.
  • Simmons Hall will be sponsoring a Bollywood Movie Night. The movie “3 Idiots” will be screened in the Multi-Purpose Room on Friday night beginning at 8 PM; the film is great but if that’s not enough you can also get to try some free masala popcorn!
