About the Margaret Cheney Room:

The Margaret Cheney Room is MIT’s space for woman-identified and nonbinary students. We exist to provide a home base and a community and intellectual space for this important student population. As the physical Cheney Room remains closed during the pandemic, keep an eye out for our virtual programming, which includes community building events, workshops on care of self and community, and opportunities to learn and engage in service.
