Cultural Exchange @ MIT is an initiative to celebrate the International

about their unique and rich culture through movie nights, coffee chats,
dance performances and ethnic food! The organizing team is looking for
interested students and student organizations to participate in this
celebration. Please fill out this form <https://forms.gle/vjCcYU5agn6vFxQq7>
