Refuge @ MIT. Join our weekly gathering for Christian students and seekers as we have worship, prayer and Bible study each Wednesday evening. We share some food and enjoy an in depth Bible study, open to all students at MIT.

The MIT wrestling club holds practices in the du Pont Wrestling Room on weeknights 5:30-7pm. All levels of experience welcome! Whether you're looking to learn how to grapple or just want to get in a good workout, wrestling practice is a good time to learn technique, get in some live goes, and have fun with a great group of people.Current schedule is: structured practice MTRF, open mats W, and technique sessions 9-10:30am on Saturday. For more information, contact wrestling-officers@mit.edu.

This six-week course offers soon-to-be parents full evidence-based information about birth and the ability to learn coping techniques such as relaxation, breathing, position practice, and massage. You will have the opportunity to learn about each of these as well as gain hands-on practice.Classes will cover choices in the hospital and how to understand risk reduction for both mother and baby.This class focuses on vaginal birth but also covers what happens in a C-section in case one is needed.Partners are encouraged to attend and will leave with a "toolbox" of support techniques. Handouts are provided.A small introduction to breastfeeding and early post-partum are covered in this course.One registration is good for both the mother and 1 support person.The ideal time to take this course is during the late 2nd trimester to early 3rd trimester.Registration is required on our wellness class website. If you do not already have an account on this website, you'll need to create one. This is a fee-based class and open to the entire MIT community.

Speaker: Karthik C.S (Rutgers University)Title: Extremal Combinatorial Objects in Hardness of Approximation in PAbstract: In the last decade, the area of hardness of approximation for problems solvable in polynomial time has emerged. One of the popular frameworks for proving such results is called threshold graph composition and relies on the existence and efficient construction of non-trivial extremal combinatorial objects.In this talk, we shall focus on defining and constructing these extremal objects while briefly outlining their applications to hardness of approximation in P.https://math.mit.edu/combin/
