Year in Review 2023

For the MIT Alumni Association (MITAA), Fiscal Year 2023 was a year focused on presidential transition, reawakening our alumni community from Covid “hibernation,” and creating a strategic plan to carry the MITAA from 2023 to 2026.

With those priority areas in mind, the MITAA also continued its programming, events, and annual fundraising efforts. Results were strong, with the Association surpassing its initial FY2023 alumni engagement goal* by five points, reaching 60 percent as the fiscal year ended on June 30.  

The collaborative Alumni Association professional team, in partnership with leadership volunteers and stakeholders across campus, engaged deeply with the presidential search process, transition, and ultimate inauguration of President Kornbluth; went on the road to meet with regional clubs and communities to jumpstart activities and involvement; pushed hard to yield solid fundraising results despite economic headwinds and MIT leadership transition; listened to and managed alumni sentiment in a variety of ways; and made a host of other investments small and large in the well-being and strength of our MIT alumni community.

Through a collaboration between the Strategic Plan Refresh Ad Hoc Committee, composed of current and past MITAA Board members and the MITAA’s leadership team and staff, the Association created SP26―a strategic plan for the next three fiscal years. The plan builds around three equally important pillars: Community, Philanthropy, and Culture. With prioritized cohorts and outcomes, the plan offers a structure and path for the years ahead, and simultaneously offers flexibility as MIT’s vision adjusts with new leadership.

With optimism for the future, the MITAA submits the following detailed report on the year just completed.   

*The MIT Alumni Association measures the engagement of its alumni in three ways: face-to-face; philanthropic; and virtual.
