School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences
In the scientifically driven and technology-rich universe of MIT, a School devoted to the humanities, arts, and social sciences occupies a very special place.
That school is SHASS. Even as MIT produces some of the most exciting scientific and technological advances on the planet, SHASS provides a vital complement and counterpoint. We help students understand these transformations in their unique historical, social, and aesthetic contexts. We help students think through their personal responses to—and place within—a rapidly changing world. And just as important, we help them articulate those responses. SHASS, in fact, is the common denominator of the MIT student’s undergraduate education, providing a foundation of knowledge that enhances life-long learning in every field.
The School’s undergraduate and graduate students have access to a rich array of courses and an extraordinary faculty that includes two Nobel laureates and three Pulitzer Prize winners, as well as 38 American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellows.
SHASS needs, and warrants, your support throughout their broad offering of departments and sections, programs, and initiatives, with special emphasis on the following:
One sure way to make an impact on the activities of the School is to direct your gift to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund for SHASS.
You may wish to search or browse for other specific giving opportunities within the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences or its departments, or make a gift now to any of the School’s initiatives using our secure online giving form.
Or, if you wish to speak to someone about a special gift in support of the School, please contact Anne Marie Michel, assistant dean for development, at ammichel@mit.edu or 617.253.4075.
