An MIT Alumni Association Publication

Next month’s MIT Alumni Leadership Conference, which takes place Sept. 27–28 on campus, will bring to light the many ways that members of the MIT community work together to make a better world. (Register by September 15.)

The conference will also commemorate significant milestones: the 50th anniversary of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), a foundational component of experiential learning at MIT, and the 120th anniversary of the Association of MIT Alumnae (AMITA), which will be celebrated at ALC’s closing reception.
