Hey Tim the Beaver, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for December 8 through December 15. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—the "Toys for Tots" holiday collection wraps up on December 15. Drop off new, unwrapped toys at designated campus locations to support children in Middlesex and Essex Counties.

Lastly—the "Bridges Homeward Holiday Drive" concludes December 12. Donate gift cards or funds to assist families and youth involved with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. Our women's track and field team made history by clinching their first NCAA Division III Outdoor National Championship. They also achieved a rare triple crown by winning cross country, indoor, and outdoor titles in the same year. Senior Alexis Boykin led the charge with a record-breaking shot put performance. On December 8, the MIT Museum is hosting a "Woodblock Printing: Seasonal Cards" workshop from 6 to 7:30 p.m. It's a great chance to create personalized holiday cards.

For a fun break, the Argentine Tango Class Series continues on December 8 at 6:45 p.m. in the Stratton Student Center. No partner required—just bring your enthusiasm. This week in Cambridge, expect chilly temperatures with highs ranging from the mid-20s to low 40s Fahrenheit. Wednesday brings a chance of afternoon rain, and Saturday might see some snow. Bundle up and keep an umbrella handy midweek. Your move: Participate in the "Toys for Tots" collection by December 15.
