As the world stands on the cusp of transformative breakthroughs in AI, CRISPR, and beyond, it’s the perfect moment to connect, converse, and collaborate. Join us for a lively and thought-provoking monthly brunch designed to bring together mid- and late-career MIT graduates who are eager to share ideas, spark new friendships, and explore what’s next.
We’ll lay the foundation for a dynamic series of gatherings, creating a structure to ensure every brunch is as engaging as it is meaningful. Come hungry for conversation and inspired to build the future. The next meetup will be held at the Veritas Restaurant (brunch menu) inside the Harvard Club of Boston (on the right after you enter the building).
Space is very limited, so RSVP as soon as possible to guarantee your spot. There is a non-refundable $5 fee to reserve your spot (does not go towards food).
Due to the Harvard Club's membership requirement, splitting checks will not be an option. We ask that attendees bring enough cash in order to pay for their own meal + tax/gratuity. We look forward to seeing you there!

The MIT Women’s Chorale invites you to its spring concert, “My Soul Sings with Joy,” on Saturday, May 17 at 5 pm at Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church, 1555 Massachusetts Avenue, Harvard Square, Cambridge.
Conducted by Nhung Truong, the concert will feature two very different works titled Magnificat. One is the notable piece by the Baroque composer, Antonio Vivaldi, set to the standard Biblical text. The second, by contemporary composer Dale Trumbore, is set to a poem that takes a surprising view of the underlying story. Both will be accompanied by string quartet. Music from several different traditions but bearing on the idea of spirit or soul will round out the program. A reception will follow the concert.
Free admission, donations accepted.
Directions and parking suggestions can be found on our website.

A successful career in STEMM requires more than an advanced degree and lots of publications.
The nonprofit Epistimi, Inc. was founded in 2021 to provide the MIT LEAPS course, Leading Yourself and Others, to women in STEMM globally. In 2023, the MIT LEAPS Program was awarded the Irwin Sizer Award for the “Most Significant Improvement to MIT Education” by the MIT Graduate Student Council.
Epistimi has partnered with the American College of Greece (ACG) and together we are happy to offer our one-week Epistimi-ACG leadership workshop during May 26-30, 2025 in Athens, Greece. The 5-day in-person workshop will be followed by six one hour Zoom meetings (every two weeks) in order to complete the personal work assignments. This program is for graduate students, postdocs, research scientists, assistant professors or any other early career professional woman in STEMM.
Workshop is limited to 30 participants. There will be three cohorts:
1. Energy, Climate and Sustainability
2. Health, Biotechnology and Chemistry

Come learn more about and join the Ivy+ Alumni Softball League! Join other interested players from Ivy+ schools and MIT and see if we can field an MIT or mixed-school team!
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+ alum---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.
