Welcome and good afternoon. Thank you very much for coming.
“Artists Beyond the Desk” is sponsored by MIT’s Working Group on Support Staff Issues. ABD highlights employees with talents that extend “beyond the desk” of their MIT jobs to the literary, the musical, and the artistic. “Artists Beyond the Desk” represents a group of talented men and women on the stage--and many volunteers behind the scenes--who present several performances each semester for the MIT community.
I would like to thank the following departments at MIT for their continued support:
- The Council for the Arts
- Department of Music & Theatre Arts
- The Working Group on Support Staff Issues
- Audio Visual
- Department of Parking and Transportation, and
- Copy Tech
These departments make each “Artists Beyond the Desk” event possible.
Today, our ABD artist is ___________. Her/his performance is entitled: ________ OR S/he is performing ____.
Please join me in welcoming to the stage … ___________.
