MIT Hummus Experience
Marissa Feinman, Hillel Director of Student Life and Programming
Enrollment: See individual event details for sign up information
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
The MIT Hummus Experience began in 2008 and has grown every year since then. It might be the health trend or just pure curiosity which brings hundreds of people to the “Hummus Taste Off,” a competition where professors and students get to rank different hummus brands and student creations by aroma, taste and texture. The “Hummus Taste Off” is the culmination for a month of “hummus experiences”. During IAP, we will again have a number of hummus-based events, as the Hummus Experience reflects the fun and exploratory spirit of MIT’s intersession. All we are saying is "Give chickpeas a Chance."
