How long have you been with MIT CISR? Could you give some examples of what’s changed and what’s remained the same?
I have been at CISR since September 1993 and at MIT since June 1980 (gulp!). Jeanne and I actually started at CISR on the same day; she was a new hire and I was a transfer from the MIT Alumni/ae Association. A big change is the increase in the number of sponsors and the geographical reach we have now. We’ve also added several research scientist positions over the years, and we’ve changed how we communicate with sponsors. There was no World Wide Web in 1993! I think the main thing that has stayed the same is the commitment to excellence in all that we do, be it research or event planning or sponsor relations.
