Dear Lab community,

At the end of another week of fast-changing circumstances and constant updates, we just want to check in to make sure everyone has what they need to live and work comfortably at home. Virtual classes begin next week, and we have heard from all faculty/instructors about their plans to bring their classes online. As we all continue to adjust to our new normal, we want to remind you of a few key updates and resources:

• Take a break and partake in virtual community building activities 

• Guidelines for picking up your mail and packages

• Guidelines for requesting brief building access through MIT’s “Limited Access Plan.”

• Apply for a hardship grant from the Alumni Support Fund

• Special requests? Submit a ticket to the Lab’s Covid-19 team at our new email address: covid19info@mit.edu 

Our primary concern is making sure that everyone has what they need to make this situation work. If you have questions or if new issues arise, please don’t hesitate to email us at covid19info@mit.edu and the team will connect you with the right person or office to help you. As always, please continue to visit the Media Lab’s Covid-19 page for up-to-date information and resources. 

Best,
Pattie, Deb, and Tod
