CPW, via Video by Matt McGann '00
Experience (or relive) Campus Preview Weekend through online videos.
For those of you who couldn’t make it to campus for CPW, here is a video recap of much that occurred! I hope this is helpful =)
And for those of you who attended CPW — it was great to meet you!
Here are the videos, compiled from the great people at MIT TechTV and (of course) YouTube.
President’s Welcome & Faculty Keynote Lecture
This was the official CPW Welcome, including speeches by Dean of Admissions Stu Schmill, President Susan Hockfield, and an awesome keynote address by Amy Smith. It’s long, but worth watching!
The Festival occurred Thursday night, after the Student Welcome. Dozens of student groups offered activities ranging from 2×4 Jenga to big screen DDR to a liquid nitrogen ice cream extravaganza. It was really fun!
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) Panel Discussion
(with special panelist Melis ’08!)
Marching Band performs for President Hockfield

21: Bringing Down Next House blackjack event
The Next House dormitory hosted some of the members of the famed MIT Blackjack Team on Saturday night, including a panel (first video, discussing their “scariest moment” while on the team) and a member who gave a card counting tutorial (second video).
Interviews with Liz ’12 and Andy ’12
On the third day of CPW, Bryan ’07 interviewed some students about their experiences so far.
CPW Closing Ceremony: MIT Logs
The Closing kicked off with this a capella performance from the Logarhythms.
CPW Closing Ceremony: MIT Chorallaries
The Chorallaries performed…
CPW Closing Ceremony: Jacob Sharpe ’11
For my money, Jacob’s juggling act was the highlight of the closing… sadly, we don’t have video of it, but here’s another video with Jacob’s act, at the Festival Mondial du Cirque De Demain (“The Worldwide Festival of the Circus of Tomorrow”) in Paris. Surprise fact: as in this video, Jacob was originally scheduled to perform with his equally talented and brilliant brother Nate ’09, but Nate had a track meet. The Shapre Brothers are quite a duo…
I hope that gives you a flavor of the CPW that was…
good times man good times
I think I’m gonna cry *WAHHHHHH*
I miss MIT already and I wanna go now *__*
Sounds amazingly fun – “Logarhythm”… creative

The Log’s were the highlight >.The Log’s were the highlight >.< and of course the other cool stuff

Good job with the interviews Bryan ! Thanks.
I miss CPW and all the cool people I met there, but it was nice seeing you again Mr. McGann!

btw, the guy giving the tutorial at the pool table is Jon Hirschtick (formerly CEO of Solidworks). He was one of original players on the MIT blackjack team that went to Vegas!
I want to see the hypnotist show (which had to be interrupted). I took part.
Sorry for not seeming like I wanted to say hi to you @ Meet the Bloggers when you were blocking the path to my seat. I did want to say Hi but I also wanted to make up for the awkwardness of standing around by getting back to my seat.
I missed the closing ceremony…I love the a capella
