What does it mean to educate the “whole student” at MIT? It’s encouraging students to ask themselves, “What do I want to do with my time at the Institute?” It’s creating a culture that encourages students to balance academics with hands-on learning, fun, food, athletics, the arts, well-being, and community. It’s shaping engaged global citizens who are well prepared to life lives of meaning and impact.
