Welcome, AeroAstro Alumni!

Our alumni are special to us, as are we to them. Many of you are closely involved with the Aero-Astro Department, speaking to classes, mentoring students, providing internships, providing research opportunities, and, of course, generously offering vital financial support.

Visit us

We're very proud of our teaching and research labs and of our classroom activities. If you're going to be in the Cambridge area, please stop by for a personal tour or to sit in on a class. To arrange for a tour or class visit, email wlitant@mit.edu.

Internships

A number of our alumni hire Aero-Astro undergrads to fill internship positions. The alums tell us they are pleased to work with bright, motivated, enthusiastic, and committed students, and the students, in turn, have a chance to familiarize themselves with real-world situations that allow them to hit the ground running when they graduate. To find out more about hiring AeroAstro students for summer positions, please email the AeroAstro Student Services Office.

Opportunities to support Aero-Astro

Is there an Aero-Astro cause that's close to your heart? Did you have a formative experience in our department that you want to ensure availability to future generations? You can show your support by directing your gift to a cause that matters to you.

There are two funds that support the department to which we would like to draw your attention:

The Aero-Astro Graduate Student Fund (3290600): Gifts to endow our graduate fellowships.

The Aero-Astro Development Fund (3830800): Giftsmay be used at the discretion of the department, including support for our undergraduate program and faculty hiring.

You can make a gift online to some of these funds by visiting the Aero-Astro area on the Giving to MIT Web Site. We'd also be happy to discuss your gift giving and support ideas and questions. Please call Susan Whitehead at (617) 253-8408 or email whitehea@mit.edu.
