MIT Alumni Travel Program Booking Now

MIT's alumni travel program reminds alumni that now is the time to book your 2004 travel plans. The Alumni Travel Program creates a wide variety of educational trips designed specifically for the MIT community, involving MIT faculty, local guides, and experts in a unique learning experience.

This summer the Alumni Travel Program is offering a trip to Finnish Lapland, a cruise on the waterways of Russia, an expedition to the North Pole aboard a nuclear icebreaker, and specially created family programs to Australia and Belize. Available fall programs include various destinations in Europe and China, and a trip to Vietnam and Thailand on the Mekong River hosted by MIT professor emeritus S. Jay Keyser.

"With the help of local alumni, we have designed a very special trip for this fall," says Melissa Chapman Gresh, director of the MIT Alumni Travel Program. "This one is right in our backyard: the Great Maritime Traditions of Maine, September seven to nine. It features a number of local experts and MIT alumni with specially arranged tours. The North Pole trip also promises to be quite memorable."

All trips have limited availability, so alumni are encouraged to reserve their places at their earliest convenience.
