MIT Alumni Association Awards
Each year, the Alumni Association celebrates the invaluable contributions volunteers make to MIT and to your fellow alumni by recognizing award recipients in all categories of volunteering for the Institute. Their excellence is representative of the service provided MIT by alumni volunteers, and provides inspiration for others to get involved.
MIT Club of Northern California is honored to have several alumni in our region who have received the national awards and recognized for their contribution to the Institute.
