It's been unfortunate to announce many program suspensions for the summer. We want to let our @MIT community know that we are continuing to monitor the situation to ensure the safety of our students seeking to go abroad. MISTI staff and faculty are here for you all for support and assistance. Please visit our FAQ page through the link in bio for the latest program updates. #OneMIT

#ThrowbackThursday We flipped through the archives and found this photo from past MISTI student Sam, who interned in Paris. We were thrown off by the photos of the Mona Lisa being taken by these ancient relics. Can you guess what year this was?

Abigail Stein (Physics '21) enjoyed not only the opportunity to teach at #ORT schools, but to explore a culture and country so far from home. She recommends GTL Israel wholeheartedly. Check out her whole pitch through the link in bio! @mistimitisrael . . . . . . . . . #MITBetterWorld #goMISTI #onlyatMIT #MIT #Israel #goabroad #Physics #STEM #womenwhoteach #teachabroad
