Welcome to the MIT Club of RTP

The MIT Club of RTP is dedicated to providing ways for MIT Alumni/ae in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina to know, meet, and work with one another in the expansion of their professional, cultural, and social horizons. The Club also serves to link members more closely to MIT through its programs and other activities.

Membership is open to:
- Undergraduate MIT Alumni/ae
- Graduate MIT Alumni/ae
- Parents of current MIT students

Our membership goal is to include 10% of our 600+ local alums as members.
