Tell Us About It She jumped to action to mobilize alumni and organized a form to connect students in need to alumni sponsors in during the initial uncertainty of MITs notice of closure. This demonstrates not only compassion in action, but strong leadership and agility. Within hours of MIT announcing closure, while I was still in shock worrying about how quickly everything was devolving, I received the form she had made inviting me to not just sit by and lament, but to take action in helping students in need.
