Our MISTI radio show is now in podcast form! Listen to interviews from our partners around the world, hear from our students about the experiences abroad, and even discover some international music. Our first episode is now live: “Climate, Communications, and COVID.” You can listen and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform. We publish episodes twice a month!

For Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Month, we want to highlight the stories of AAPI MISTI students who wrote about their experiences abroad through the lens of this identity. We're grateful for how they opened up about what it was really like to be in a country where they may be a minority and there's a mutual unfamiliarity with cultures. Challenges are inevitable, but there are also opportunities to have positive cross-cultural exchange. Click the link in our bio to read these students' blogs. Photo from Trang Luu in Cameroon.

MISTI 2020 may look a little different, but we can still help you expand your career and cultural horizons. We have been building new and unique global opportunities! Click the link in bio to learn more. We'll be adding more opportunities as they come so check back often!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @mitstudents @mit #mitstudents #mit #mit2024
