And just as important, AMITA’s social events are an opportunity to meet other MIT women and have fun! <br>
<br>Founded in 1899, the Association of MIT Alumnae is dedicated to providing a means for former women students to maintain contact with each other and MIT. We also support current women students at MIT with our various on-campus activities, giving them a chance to meet and talk to alumnae. We hold a variety of events around the country to provide alumnae with an opportunity to stay in touch and to stay informed about issues and developments that are relevant to their lives.
