On Nov 6, 2018, SAI held its first ever institute dinner with members in the New England area. The dinner took place at a local restaurant in Cambridge (The Mad Monkfish) and 5 members attended (Co-Founders Fanuel Muindi and Moytrayee Guha, Co-Director Jessica Tsai, Research Fellow Aiza Kabeer, and Her STEM Story Founder/Manager Prasha Sarwate. The dinner enabled some of the institute members to meet face to face for the first time. This is the first of such gatherings and we hope more will take place in the future to continue strengthening the SAI community.
