Uniting through Voice and Song In a time of political change, we celebrate the values that unite us at MIT
Join us on Thursday, November 17, Lobby 10, 7pm Dear members of the MIT community,
Last week's presidential election is sure to bring about changes, and in times of change it is important that our community remain connected and energized — dedicated to discovery, respect, and kindness, and open to excellence from everywhere in the world. As President Reif has emphasized, change in Washington will not change the values that unite us at MIT.
I invite you to join me in celebrating these values at an event this week featuring music and thoughts from MIT faculty and students:
Uniting through Voice and Song Thursday, November 17, 7pm, Lobby 10
By staying together, strong in our community values, we will continue to do what we do best: solving the world's great challenges. And now more than ever it is important that we address these challenges with a deep understanding of their political, economic and cultural dimensions.
In the coming weeks and months, the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences will be drawing on the expertise of its faculty and colleagues from around the Institute to organize events and publications aimed at giving our community the tools it needs to understand the changes ahead.
The MIT Center for International Studies will kick off the series with a faculty panel on the election:
Trump’s Victory: What does it mean for you?
program: Starr Forum: Trump’s Victory: What does it mean for you?
Sandy Alexandre will focus on racism in America Sandy Alexandre, associate professor, MIT Literature, is an expert on late nineteenth-century to present-day black American literature and culture.
Heather Hendershot will discuss extremist vs. mainstream conservatism Heather Hendershot, professor, MIT Comparative Media Studies, is particularly interested in the complicated relationship between “extremist” and “mainstream” conservatism and in how that relationship is negotiated by conservative media.
Lourdes Melgar will offer a view from abroad Lourdes Melgar, alumna of MIT and Mexico's former deputy secretary of energy for hydrocarbons, is currently a Robert E. Wilhelm Fellow at the MIT Center for International Studies.
There are tens of millions of adults in this country who simply need to grow up.
Looks like MIT SHASS = SHIT MASS.
They really are full of themselves. It’s sad to see that much alleged brainpower go right down the crapper.
It means, do some real work.
Bbb
Pathetic.

Come they told me
Trump a pum pum
A new born King to see,
Trump a pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Trump a pum pum
To lay before the King
Trump a pum pum
Trump a pum pum
Trump a pum pum
So to honor Him
Trump a pum pum
When we come.
