"For Students, By Students"
...is the motto of the MIT IM program. This is to signify the tremendous effort that students put forth to organize and manage leagues, captain teams, and participate on the IM Council and IM Executive Committee. IM's at MIT have a great tradition dating back decades upon decades, but to keep this program running it takes dedication and commitment from students at various levels - Executive Committee members, Athletic Chairs, Captains, Managers, and most importantly, all of the PARTICIPANTS!
Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation is to bring students, faculty, and staff together in educational activities that promote healthy lifestyles, enhance a sense of community, foster growth in leadership and teamwork skills, and encourage the pursuit of excellence.
