Hi everyone,
The first draft of Jed's nomination letter is available at
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=3D0AaHAxoRuoKd-ZHh2MzY4NV8xMTJkODQ0dmNmbQ&=
hl=3Den
If you would like to support this initiative, action items are as follows:
* read the letter and be prepared to sign it. I will be in the
student center from 12:30p to 4p and from 6p to 7p tomorrow (tuesday)
to collect your signatures. I will scan them and put them in the
document.
* add a quote to the end of the letter if you have time! This will
really help the cause. Be specific where you can and see the other
quotes for examples.
* send me any suggestions on how to improve the document. You can
make changes to the google doc directly, but please give me a heads up
just so I know what's changed.
Or, if you are willing to write a letter on your own, that would be
even more awesome. See the instructions at http://web.mit.edu/awards/
Thanks
Keone
