MIT LifeSites - About LifeSites

LifeSites' goal is to streamline how people at MIT find resources to enrich their lives, solve problems, and create a dynamic community. As a work in progress, LifeSites will continue to gather key web links to opportunities for connection, help, and growth.

More than 60 offices, activities, services, people, and programs are working to make MIT a supportive environment. Some provide resources on family issues or care for medical problems. Others offer information on financial matters or connect people through mutual interests. The information below includes Short Profiles of LifeSites Sections, MIT Offices Listed in LifeSites, LifeSites' Sponsor, and the LifeSites Project Team.
