Lee '95. The purpose of the City Days program is to "try to get MIT stu- dents to be involved with public ser- vice, with an emphasis on educa- tion," Lee said. The kids benefit because they are exposed to science 3 and are encouraged to stay in school; and the MIT students benefit because they learn more about Cam- bridge and its residents, she added. Lee called City Day One a suc- cess. "The kids had a lot of fun, and I so did the MIT students." The Pub- lic Service Center also sponsors the LINKS program, now in its second year, which enables MIT students to help out in a class or with after- school activities on a weekly-basis. t8 City Day Two, where MIT stu- .@' dents go out into the Cambridge ,11 community to do volunteer work, will take place on Oct. 2.
