Thursday Meetings at Berkman Blog

Don’t forget: the Berkman Center is now at 23 Everett Street. The conference room we use for our meetings is on the second floor, room 202. It’s just across from the elevator and to the immediate right of the stairs. (No, it’s not the men’s room.) The building is a short distance from Baker House, where we used to meet.

We will make every effort to keep the door downstairs open. If you are locked out of the building, please call 617-495-7547 (Berkman main line) if you have a cell phone, or yell up to us (we’ll leave the windows open). We’re hoping to have this situation resolved with a callbox in the near future.
