MIT Open Space events for Spring 🌷

Tue Mar 10 11:45:48 EDT 2026

Dear Postdocs,
In case you’re not aware, MIT Open Space Programming organizes fun outdoor events in the space between the Kendall T, MIT Medical and the Site 4 Graduate Tower.  See below for information on events, including mural making, an adult clothing swap, bike tune-ups, and yoga.  If you want to subscribe to their newsletter, go to: https://www.openspace.mit.edu/

Enjoy the beautiful day!  The melting snow means spring is almost here!
