Event Details

If you have trouble registering for this event, click here.

Join us for a ~4.5 mile hike in the West part of the Middlesex FELLS Reservation. Located ~10 miles from MIT, the FELLS Reservation is a natural treasure, offering beautiful sceneries and providing an important drinking water supply for many residents north of Boston.

The Fells Reservation spans ~2,200-acres that include a diverse landscape of forest, wetlands, and hills, something all too rare in our urban/suburban landscape. This range of habitat sustains a variety of wildlife including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds.

Approximate Trail Map
Our trail will loop around the FELLS North Reservoir along wooded areas with a mildly undulating terrain, offering frequent vistas of both North and Middle Reservoirs. We will have a brief lunch break at one of the scenic points, so, please bring a sandwich or snack and drinking water.

The expected start-to-end duration is 2 to 2.5 hours depending on weather and ground-surface conditions. The final trail will be selected closer to the hiking date, adapted to updated hike-day weather conditions and expected trail-surface conditions.

The Ivy+ Alumni Coed Softball League was founded in the 1980s to provide the opportunity for alumni of all ages and ability, male and female, to meet and network with other Ivy+ alums---this networking event just happens to take place on a softball field!  It was decided that a restricted flight ball was to be used, with the goal being for everyone to get a hit and for everyone to have fun!  A 4-swing rule was set, teams pitched to themselves with a defensive pitcher standing within 6–8 feet of the offensive pitcher to field the "beginner hits," seven men and three women were to be on the field at all times, and getting together socially after the game was encouraged.

Step into an evening of elegance and connection at the 3rd Annual Ivy+ Summer Soirée - a gathering of distinguished alumni from the Ivy+ community. Hosted in the beautiful Harvard Club, this summer celebration offers a sophisticated setting to mix, mingle, and expand your professional and social circles.

Enjoy a curated selection of light hors d’oeuvres and access to a full bar (credit card only) as you engage in vibrant conversation beneath the historic charm of one of Boston’s most iconic and exclusive venues. While there will not be dancing, the evening will sparkle with good company, great conversation, and the opportunity to forge lasting connections in style. There will be ambient music to create a warm and festive atmosphere.

Attire: Dress to impress—cocktail or stylish evening attire is encouraged.

Ticket Pricing: $64/person. Two tickets maximum per registrant. Tickets are non-refundable. A waitlist will be available on a first come, first-serve basis in case of last minute cancellations.

Space is very limited. The last two years, we have sold out our block of tickets within days and had hundreds of people on the waiting list. Join the MITCOB to ensure you have priority access to tickets through April 27th. Tickets go on sale to the general MIT community on April 28th.

This is a 21+ event. By registering for this event, you are consenting to the use of your photographs in future event promotions.
