If you would like to submit a 3-5 minute video of an interview with an early McCormick resident (yourself, your best friend from MIT, etc.), we encourage you to do it and let us include it in version 2 of the McCormick DVD.
What is your name, your MIT class, your McCormick room numbers?
Here are some sample questions for the tongue-tied:
What are your best and worst memories of living in McCormick?
How did you react to the male/female student ratio at MIT?
When you were applying to colleges, how did you find out that MIT was coed?
What's your most humorous memory of McCormick Hall or MIT?
Would you choose MIT if you had it to do over again?
How did the events of the Vietnam war affect you?
Did your life after MIT turn out the way you expected?
Have you been particularly hindered or helped by being a woman in your
career?
Does MIT appear in your dreams at night?
Did the women's liberation movement have an impact on you?
Do you still have your slide rule?
Who were your favorite professors?
You'll need to create a digital video/audio file with your interview. We can work with .mov format and perhaps others. When in doubt, ask. You can also combine still pictures with an audio interview, using various multimedia editing tools, so you don't need to run out and buy a digital video camera.
Once you have a file with your interview ready, please contact Hilarie Orman (ho@alum.mit.edu) about how to submit it. The ideal solution would be for you to create a CD or DVD with the content and mail it to Hilarie, or to put it on a personal website and send the URL. We can arrange for email submission, but only by pre-arrangement (please do not email the video to Hilarie!).
