The annual report shows you everything we did in the previous academic year. It is a great way to get a feel about how we work with students.

We also have a student portal called Orbit - the one stop shop for student entrepreneurs. Feel free to browse the "Navigate MIT" section to see what sorts of classes and resources are available to student entrepreneurs at MIT.

We are one of many, many resources available to entrepreneurial students. Read about the entire MIT innovation ecosystem on the MIT innovation initiative's website.

Good luck! And come visit! You can't get a good feel of the culture of MIT without going on a student led tour.
