Evening: Reception and Dinner
In the evening, we had a reception and reunion dinner at Hotel@MIT honoring Corby for his contributions and his influence on our own lives and careers. Corby attended, and we announced that we have established a new graduate student fellowship in his name. It's our way of saying "thanks" to him for the education that we all received under his leadership. If you would like to contribute, please contact Martha Lawler at MIT.
