IMPORTANT UPDATE from WiSE

Dear students, mentors, and faculty,

Please stay safe.  If you feel overwhelmed, please talk with a trusted adult and/or call MIT Urgent Care 617-253-4481 who can put you in contact with a mental health professional.
Students: If you have any questions that you wanted to ask our undergrad panelists, feel free to email me and I'll get responses back for you.

Again, we are really sorry to cancel the session, especially since this was the last WiSE session planned for this school year.
