Web sightings

��������������������������� For those who are interested in all things French, La page francaise du MIT features links to various French and francophone Web pages, listings of French-related activities in Boston (lectures, conferences, music, art, special events, film, etc.), and subjects and professors of French at MIT. It was created by Shoggy Waryn, lecturer in French and coordinator of the French section, along with some of his students.

��������������������������� In the same vein, Spanish speakers can go to the MIT Spanish home page to find maps of Spanish-speaking countries; the user can then click on a region of a given map to access servers for scientific and education material within that region. Users can also toggle between two identical versions of each page, one written in English and the other in Spanish. There is also information about Spanish subjects at MIT and a set of images of Puerto Rico. The site was created by Tomas Revesz, a junior in electrical engineering and computer science, and is now maintained by Margarita Ribas Groeger, a lecturer in Spanish in the foreign languages and literatures section.

��������������������������� The Sloan School of Management's web site has been named "B-School Page of the Month" by the Marr and Kirkwood Official Guide to Business School Webs, an independent ranking group. Many of the site's pages feature graphic elements overlapping photos of the School, and they have links to other pages displaying the School's history; academic programs and research; news and publications; information about students, faculty and staff; and affiliated offices, centers and services. Other graphics-rich pages show artwork from the Dean's Gallery, the new Tang Center and a campus map highlighting the Sloan buildings.
