Who are you? What's important to you? What motivates you? What gives your life meaning? There is PLENTY to DO at MIT, but not a lot of time to reflect on all the doing and listen to what we're learning about ourselves, our core
principles, and our deepest desires. This four-part series will give you a chance to slow down a bit, think through your experiences, and start the new year with greater self-awareness and clarity. A tasty vegetarian dinner will be
served, too!
