Explore MIT’s Resources for Families

MIT parents and families have many opportunities to stay connected to the life of the Institute. From Campus Preview Weekend and Family Weekend to Commencement, lectures, athletic events, volunteer opportunities, and more, families can continue to engage with the MIT community throughout their student’s journey. 

Visit the MIT Parents and Families Page for updates, resources, and information about upcoming programs and events. We look forward to welcoming the families of the Class of 2027 to Commencement activities in May 2027.
