This successful campaign was designed to increase support for new forms of research that require multi-disciplinary collaboration.
Created in collaboration with our colleagues in Development and the Economics faculty, the campaign highlights the research, dedication, and vision that enables MIT economists to improve life for millions of people across the nation and the world. The 4-min video, Lighting the Path illuminates how the department’s research informs policy for healthcare; poverty alleviation; education; energy; the environment; international trade; and the work of the future.

FOR A NEW MIT MUSIC BUILDING
Story | View the book online (archival links: slow-ish but worth the wait!)
This book highlights the significance of music in MIT's mission. MIT’s centers of excellence have long included the arts as well as the sciences, humanities, and technology, and one great strength is the Institute's Music program, which welcomes all enrolled MIT students — regardless of experience — and includes a conservatory-level track.
The vast majority of MIT’s incoming students now have advanced experience in the arts, most especially in music. For these students, MIT’s combination of a world-class education and superb music training is one key to their creativity, success, and well-being. This photo-rich book was part of a successful multi-year campaign to raise funds for a dedicated music building at MIT. The new building opens in 2024.
