Samosas & Smoothies

You will also have the chance to meet some faculty and staff who are committed to the success of students of diverse gender, romantic, and sexual identities. So, come and hang out and have a great time!

Diversity Orientation

LBGTQ @MIT is committed to ongoing support and partnership with the Office of Multicultural Programs' orientation program on diversity and inclusion for incoming first-year undergraduate students. From the orientation handbook: "MIT is rich with a tremendous variety of culture, creativity, character and experiences. How well have your experiences prepared you to enter the diverse environment that is MIT? This program will provide you with an opportunity to learn about your new community as well as some of the challenges and opportunities presented by living and learning at MIT. Our presenters will introduce the range of diversity that exists at MIT, how it contributes to our unique culture, and how we engage one another through inclusion opportunities. They will also explore with you your own values and ways you can develop practical skill sets for engagement."

Queer Women's Dessert Night

Lesbians, friends, bisexual girls, trans women, allying people, and you! Come meet other MIT students and staff at this welcoming, low-key event. Stop by to check out the Rainbow Lounge or stay for a while longer. LBGTQ @MIT community members will gladly answer your questions about MIT social and academic life.
