M.S. MIT Reading List
As a feature to M.S. in MIT alumni, we have begun emailing a class reading list after every weekend the M.S. MIT Charlottesville section meets. The Class of 2009 Charlottesville section met for the first time Thursday, May 22. This section will meet once a month from Thursday – Saturday. Each week after the class meeting, we will email a reading list with two or three articles that were discussed in class. Due to copyright rules, we will not be able to send a pdf of the reading, but will always include the links and directions to download.
