The BITSAA New England chapter is in action again. Our first reunion in June was extremely successful with over 40 people attending. This one's going to be even better.

The director of BITS, Dr. Venkateswaran, will be here on Monday, September 23rd, and we'd like to make his trip to Boston as memorable as possible by organizing a dinner for him. Don't miss this opportunity to meet one-on-one with the "Diro", discuss what his plans for BITS are and find out the ways and means by which you can contribute. But do hurry up and register since tickets are limited due to facility constraints.
