MIT OGE GradDiversity

Throughout Women's History Month, OGE, GradDiversity uplifts the 2024 theme, "Women who Advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," as we recognize the great women who have devoted their lives to pursuing truth and innovation for the betterment of our society.

This month OGE, GradDiversity celebrates Black History Month, honoring the achievements, gifts, innovation, contributions and courage of African Americans.

For, “ history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” -Michelle Obama

Our office was closed yesterday as we honored and remembered the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. Please stay tuned as we share information about the 50th MLK Celebration this February.

What a time we had yesterday at the OGE/UCEM Study Break. Relaxing, resetting and being in community with one another.

Last night was a trip down memory lane. It was nice to see the familiar faces of the MIT Summer Research Program Alum at our Annual Boston Area Meet-Up!

The Associates of the Boston Public Library is proud to present Faces of Phillis, a free staged reading and panel discussion, as the fifth installment of the annual Pierce Performance Series. The one and only performance will take place on December 4th, from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM in the Boston Public Library's Rabb Hall.

Faces of Phillis will celebrate Phillis Wheatley Peters on the 250th anniversary of the publication of Phillis's groundbreaking book Poems of Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.

A recording of the event will be available for only one week on Vimeo (December 6th - December 13th).
