Members of the Boston chapter of PAPS got together on March 10 to pretend that the Winter was gone and the Spring was finally here. All of this, of course, accompanied by a tasty dinner!
Many students of the MIT-Portugal Program were present, making this event, partially sponsored by PSA (MIT Portuguese Students Association), a more internationalized occasion.
