 spotlight: Appreciation for coordination: Administrative Professional's Day
 

Celebrate support staff today and throughout the year


 
  Home - MIT Who are MIT's support staff?
We are the information centers of our areas. We are time-jugglers, meeting planners, computer technicians, troubleshooters, facilities coordinators, event planners, accountants, engineers, diplomats and confidants. Students come to us for guidance and solace. Professors need our wisdom and experience. Have a problem, concern or an issue? Bring it to a support staffer and it will be resolved.

We are the brightest and best professionals in our field. Most MIT support staff are college graduates, having majored in areas as diverse as biology and anthropology. Many of us have added to our craft in business courses and computer classes. Some of us have Master's degrees and some have Ph.D.s. The Institute would not function properly without our daily input, enthusiasm and drive.

Obviously, there isn't enough praise to be given to the 1600+ support staff at MIT's main campus and the almost 300 support staff located at Lincoln Laboratory. We hope you will show your appreciation to your support staff this week, and all year long!
