alumni Affinity Groups
MIT Architecture Alumni group event in Washington, D.C.
Because shared interests are an important part of what connects so many alumni to each other and MIT, the MIT Alumni Association supports the establishment of affinity groups to encourage alumni to stay connected to one another and MIT through their shared interests.
School of Architecture and Planning alumni have formed three department-specific groups:
- MITArchA: MIT Architecture Alumni
- MMLAA: The Media Lab Alumni Association
- AACRE: The Alumni Association for the Center for Real Estate
To see the full range of ways to connect with the broader MIT alumni community, in the U.S. and worldwide, visit the networking page at the Infinite Connection.
