Welcome to BGALA - MIT's World-Wide LGBT Alumni Group

BGALA's mission is to provide a social and professional network for MIT affiliates who are supportive of bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgendered minorities, including a dedication to improving the quality of life for these minorities at the Institute.

On the Join In tab, you can learn about joining BGALA through our online network, MIT QNET, and how to volunteer with the group.

See our Events tab to learn about upcoming events and the News tab to read about what we've been up to.

We have a variety of annual events, including a Tech Reunion Reception, Educational Meetings on topics such as careers, LGBT Interests, and Legal Rights, bi-monthly lunches, and summer boat cruises. We're also looking to branch out to foster more activities across the country. If you sign up on MIT QNET, you can join a local BGALA interest group. Contact Brett Mattingly on the BGALA officers list if you are interested in leading an activity in your area.
