On behalf of the Institute Community and Equity Office and Human Resources, welcome to MIT! We are so excited to have you as a member of our staff community. 

We know that getting to know the Institute as a new hire can be daunting. With over 14,000 employees spread across departments, labs, and centers, it can seem difficult to find community and professional connections that make coming to work each day feel gratifying. 

MIT has a variety of resources that can help foster a sense of belonging for new and existing employees. One of the best resources for this is our Employee Resource Group community. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led groups formed around common interests, common bonds, or similar backgrounds. ERG members help create a positive work environment at MIT by actively contributing to the Institute’s mission, values and efforts specific to inclusion. 

You have the opportunity to learn more about ERGs and meet the people who help them thrive at our very first Employee Welcome Wagon information session on September 27th via Zoom. 

Please, register here.

If you have any questions, please contact Polina Vulf (vulfp@mit.edu)
