LBGTQ+ Services staff work with various MIT offices and administrators to explore, assess, and improve the areas of MIT policy and community life where trans concerns may be better addressed. If you experience anything at MIT that does not appear to be in concert with MIT's policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender identity, please contact us. LBGTQ+ Services staff is available to advise and assist MIT community members with any trans-related challenges that occur on campus.
