TOUR de SHASS 2021
Be your whole self at MIT.
Meet the professors and explore MIT's humanistic fields! Before the 2021 virtual event, take a sneak preview of the fields.
On the day of the Tour, you can click any field photo below to join a Virtual Booth — a Zoom room where faculty, staff, and students will be waiting to answer your questions.
Once you have visited that field, return to this page and click on another photo to tour that field. Spend as much or as little time as you’d like in each Virtual Booth; the folks in the Zoom rooms expect you to jump in-and-out during the two-hour tour.
