Stories to Share? Try The Corridor

In some ways, MIT's sesquicentennial celebration has been like a collective trip down memory lane. We see it in peoples' eyes as they return to campus for an event, such as the FAST arts festival, or when they watch historical footage on the Infinite History site. Thankfully, the Institute has a page where people can share their freshly remembered stories and observations about all things MIT.

The page, called The Corridor, is part of the MIT150 website. Check it out, and leave a message if you'd like. We've posted a few excerpts below.

MIT's opened a great many doors in my research. I've for the past two years worked with MIT's EPROM program in Africa. The experience is by far totally superb. We are doing some wonderful research and development. Most of the concepts I've learned in practice, I've translated and applied to my work as director of engineering at StorySpaces, a social storytelling app. I wanna throw out as many "hoorahs" to MIT for its great support. -Victor Miclovich

I find the Infinite to be a great place for thinking. It provides a quarter mile for your mind to wander outside the classrooms and offices that border the route. Though its lines are straight, the Infinite encourages ideas off its beaten path. In true MIT fashion, some of the best thinking can be done here in the wee hours of the morning when it's just you, your thoughts, and a limitless hall.-Christina Rosales '14

This might count as a "first sightseeing of MIT" story, although it wasn't the Infinite Corridor.... My aunt, uncle, cousins and I first saw the Stata Center six years ago, from afar. After a pause, someone asked, "Is that building drunk?" -Aya Rothwell
