The Humans of MIT Team

What is Humans of MIT?

Humans of MIT is a photojournalism blog run exclusively by students. Our goal is to share the unique and inspiring stories from MIT students, faculty, and staff with the greater MIT community.

Can I submit a story?

Unfortunately, we currently do not accept submissions for stories to be posted on Humans of MIT. We always strive to publish the best content for our viewers and share stories that are the products of random encounters.

Funded in part by a Director's Grant from the Council for the Arts at MIT.
