MIT Ashdown House

A night of art, music, and community.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for the Ashdown Alumni Concert & Dinner! It was such a privilege to see the incredible talent within our own walls - from breathtaking classical performances to the stunning gallery of resident artwork. 🎨

There’s nothing quite like sharing a meal and a concert with neighbors and alumni to remind us what makes Ashdown so special. Swipe right for a glimpse of the performances, the gallery, and that final dessert!

🧧 Lunar New Year Brunch
Thanks to everyone who joined us in the Hulsizer Room for our March Brunch! We celebrated the Lunar New Year in style with a festive spread of wontons, scallion oil noodles, and mochi.
