About the MIT ASO Science and Technology Awards
Every year, the Arab Students' Organization at MIT organizes the MIT ASO Science and Technology Awards Banquet to recognize outstanding Arab and Arab-American contributions to science and technology. The ceremony draws over 150-200 members of the Arab and Arab-American communities to celebrate the career-long accomplishments of the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.

This is a great opportunity to be recognized by the Arab and Arab-American community not only in the Boston area, but nationwide. The success of previous ceremonies is a testimony to how award winners and nominees attain a great deal of recognition from the Arab and Arab-American community and beyond.
