Student executive committee member Jordanna P. Schutz '02, who proposed the idea in a student TECH Team meeting last week, said that the event was designed to advertise the resources that the group has to offer.

"Not enough people are aware of TECH yet, and so we thought we'd begin to host some fun study breaks and social events in order to raise awareness and disseminate information about the Center," she said. "Whether or not [TECH] fulfills that potential depends heavily on the degree of involvement of the Harvard community."

Arturo E. Brillembourg '04, a

member of TECH's communications committee, echoed Schutz's concerns, noting the prominent role that TECH could play as a student organization on campus.

"TECH will eventually be the hub for technology and entrepreneurship, an umbrella organization like PBH," he said. "We want people to know what we're about."

The study break will be held at 6:30 p.m. in Maxwell-Dworkin G-125.
