FLI Around the Institute Newsletter

Curated by FLI Staff members the newsletter is a go-to resource that gives you the most up-to-date FLI programming initiatives, professional development opportunities, community wellness programs, and partnership programs. You can sign up for it through this link. Students who are self-declared as first-generation are automatically enrolled in the newsletter.

Discord – By Students, For Students

Unlike the FLI Slack, Discord is a platform run by MIT FLI students. Staff members are not affiliated with it, meaning that our students can have conversations amongst themselves that they may not be comfortable having with staff members. Join here!

Slack, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn… you name it!

There are many more ways to get connected and involved in the FLI community. Check us out on any platform of your choosing by clicking on our Linktree.
