Staff forum: The future of MIT education

September 23, 2014

Martin A. Schmidt, Provost, 2014–2022 | Israel Ruiz, Executive Vice President and Treasurer, 2011–2020 |

Dear Colleagues,

Last month President Reif released the report of the Institute-wide Task Force on the Future of MIT Education. It reflects the input received from students, faculty, staff, and alumni since the Task Force launch in February 2013. In releasing the report, President Reif described a comment period, during which we are actively seeking feedback from across the MIT community.

We invite you to attend a staff forum planned for next week to discuss the report and the future of education at MIT. The event is scheduled to run from 11:00 am until noon on Wednesday, October 1, in the Singleton Auditorium (46-3002).

If you haven't yet read the report, we encourage you to do so. It is important for all voices to be heard as Institute leadership considers the Task Force recommendations. We and Task Force co-chairs Sanjay Sarma and Karen Willcox are eager to hear your thoughts, and hope you will join us next week.

Sincerely,

Marty Schmidt
Provost

Israel Ruiz
Executive Vice President and Treasurer
