We’re looking for the right person to fill a key role in our continued growth and success. Our Executive Administrative Assistant works closely with club officers, volunteers, and members to ensure the smooth functioning of the Club and its events, and also helps to manage the club’s web site, calendar, email communications and provide a modest amount of phone support.
The MIT Alumni Association and swissnex Boston in collaboration with the MIT Club of Boston and ETH New England Chapter sponsored an event on March 21 that took us into the inner workings of the brain as illuminated in the recently published book by MIT Professor Sebastian Seung, Connectome: How the Way We are Wired Makes Us Who We Are. Joining him was Swiss scientist Benjamin Bollmann who has created striking photographic images of the brain’s neural networks. What emerged from their presentations was not only the stunning complexity of the task of mapping out the connectome but the beauty of the mind’s substrate as captured in Benjamin’s images.

Thanks to each and every person in the MIT Club of Boston geographic area who made a gift to MIT during FY11. You helped the MIT Club of Boston to win the
Clubs Participation Challenge prize of $1,000 for the club with the highest increase in the number of donors in their geographic area.
As a way of saying
THANK YOU to all who made gifts, the MIT Club of Boston will hold an event later this year where all FY11 donors will be invited for an evening of food and drink and a panel discussion with the students who have received support from the MIT Club of Boston Scholarship Fund. It should be a fun and interesting evening. For those who did not make a gift in FY11, you can still come to the event if you make a gift in FY12.
