Our Commitment

At MIT, we are committed to an education that combines rigorous academic study with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community, one that reflects the true diversity of our country and world. We believe that students who are exposed to multiple perspectives are best prepared to solve society’s greatest challenges. We are proud and excited to be a member of the STARS Network, to ensure that students from small towns and rural communities know how much we value the perspectives and experiences they bring to our campus. We are committed to expanding access to information about the opportunities that exist at MIT and a range of other higher education institutions, so students can make the most informed decisions about how to spend their post-high school years.
