Volunteers connect classmates and coursemates to one another; contribute time and energy; and help create a culture that expects and inspires others to participate in the life of MIT. Members of the Fund Board play a key role in the success of the Alumni Fund, and exemplify the type of leadership we see from alumni volunteers at MIT.
