Best wishes as you finish out the year (graduate students)

Dear graduate students,

As the semester winds down, I am joined by many others in cheering you on during this busy time of year. Please don’t hesitate to reach out or to consult the resources below in the coming weeks. They include information about self-care, support resources, recreation, and special programming.

I hope each of you has a chance to take time for yourself this summer and enjoy some well-earned rest. For those finishing your degrees, I send my warmest congratulations and an invitation to stay in touch and come back to visit MIT often. 

I wish you a joyful and restorative summer.

Best wishes,

Suzy
