Learn about MIT's Interactions with...
MIT believes that the most productive “Town–Gown” relationship results from being genuinely engaged in our broader community. Institute staff, students, and faculty work side-by-side with neighborhood and civic organizations, local businesses, non-profit agencies, cultural organizations, residents, and the City of Cambridge government to address challenges and opportunities facing Cambridge.
