Building on Your Strengths – October 28th to November 8th
As introduced at our Welcome Dinner, we’re excited to launch our inaugural theme, ‘Brick by Brick,’ leading up to (and beyond) FLI Week of Visibility. We’re here to celebrate the incredible strength, perseverance, and success of this community; focusing on growth and potential rather than the challenges often highlighted in the FLI narrative. Remember, you’re not navigating MIT alone! We’ve partnered with various offices across campus to connect you with valuable resources throughout your journey. Each office will be hosting an event during ‘Brick by Brick’ specifically for FLI students. We encourage you to attend the ones that would be most useful to you.
