DAPER 150th Celebration Set for April 10th


MIT Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation (DAPER) will be holding a celebratory reception on Sunday, April 10, 2011, from 11am-1pm at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. This event will precede the MIT 150th Convocation, beginning at 2pm, that recalls the mid-century convocation and celebrate the scholarly accomplishments of MIT's faculty and students.
The Department invites all members of the MIT community to help commemorate MIT's legacy and recognize 16 varsity teams that have significant anniversary dates ranging from 10 to 110 years, including MIT Basketball's 110th anniversary.
