"MIT is already known for innovation and for new ideas in how to educate scientists and engineers. In the light of new technology, we have a tremendous opportunity to go further. We can add value to the residential experience by stimulating innovation in teaching. The Institute is already churning with new ideas. This is a chance to bring them into the light of day."

The d'Arbeloff Fund for Excellence in Education was established through a generous $10 million grant from Brit, SM '61, and Alex d'Arbeloff '49 and is unique in its focus on the process of education itself. Projects funded in the program are designed to enhance and potentially transform the academic and residential experience of MIT's undergraduate students. The Dean for Undergraduate Education chairs the d'Arbeloff Grants Committee.
