Support the Team

Alumni are advised that February will be a special month, as athletes from around the Institute will be engaged in a national phonathon to reach out to alumni, asking for support of MIT's fast-growing athletics program. While the Institute is,  of course, world-renowned for its educational and research accomplishments, it continues to receive more and more national acclaim for its scholar-athletes.

"The athletics phonathon is a wonderful chance for alumni to give back to a specific athletic program that is near and dear to their heart," says Tim Poisson, the director of Alumni Fund operations, "and also a time to connect with current MIT athletes and learn how athletics continues to grow and enhance student life and learning."

Cosponsored by the Department of Athletics, Physical Education, and Recreation (DAPER) and the MIT Alumni Association, the athletic phonathon will run throughout the month of February, and more than 200 scholar-athletes are scheduled to participate.
