Graduate Alumni

Graduate alumni programs promote, strengthen, and support the important connection between graduate alumni and the Institute. Through numerous Alumni Association programs, graduate alumni can stay in touch with students, other graduate alumni, and the Institute at large.

In addition, the Alumni Association also helps graduate alumni stay connected with academic departments, bringing both personal and professional benefits.

Past Events

MIT Graduate Alumni Webcast: Educating for Our Future

On February 27th, 2007, the MIT Alumni Association, in conjunction with regional Clubs, organized a webcast and reception for graduate alumni (those who received a graduate degree from MIT). The theme, Educating for Our Future, featured three faculty members discussing various aspects of maintaining/improving the K-12 pipeline for science and technology.

The Graduate Alumni Convocation and Reunion, held on campus April 21-22, 2006, brought together some 280 graduate MIT alumni from 13 countries for a weekend of reconnecting with the Institute and departments, seeing former classmates, and forming new ties to fellow alumni. The weekend featured tours of new campus facilities, departmental receptions, networking opportunities, Institute and research updates, and workshops addressing pressing issues in a variety of fields.
