Please join us for our BIndx Meeting with a special guest: Dr. John Urschel, Assistant Professor at the MIT Math department.  Dr. Urschel's research focuses on matrix factorizations and moment-based algorithms. In 2017, he retired from playing as an offensive lineman for the NFL Baltimore Ravens and completed his PhD in 2021. He wrote a memoir called Mind and Matter: A Life in Math and Football, which was selected for MIT Reads in spring 2023. Join us for dinner and a great conversation with our guest speaker.

The Black Industrial Engineers (BIndx, pronounced BIND-ex) group is composed of IOE students and faculty who come together informally for meaningful conversations and fellowship to promote learning, mentoring, and networking. The BIndx program was initiated to promote a learning space where students feel comfortable engaging with faculty. BIndx meetings occur as informal monthly discussions to help form relationships between faculty and minoritized students.  BIndx hosts a diverse group of guest speakers throughout the semester with a specific focus to facilitate conversations, build connections, and empower self-reflection.

Dinner will be served ONLY to those who RSVP. 

Please RSVP HERE if you plan to attend by Wednesday, March 11 at 4pm: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebdin_QbDJEeINtbHQnXa5Wc9JEF7rGuGwMxHws9C_FCWHew/viewform
