Future MIT Parents

To the Class of 2016 Future MIT Parents, we thank you for joining us at Campus Preview Weekend. As you met many of our wonderful Parent Connectors throughout the weekend, enjoyed conversations, and hopefully asked many important questions - we know you heard wonderful things regarding our MIT Parents Facebook page. Please remember that to join the group you will need to wait until June, once your student is officially enrolled in MIT. In the meantime, please explore the MIT Parents Association Website and see what it has to offer. If you have additional questions, please email:
