However, its thoughtfully planned and carefully curated green spaces are an integral part of the outdoor tapestry, tempering the bustle and noise of the urban environment. Large, grassy courtyards, numerous easy-to-find or tucked-away gardens, and abundant trees provide spots to gather with others or just enjoy your own company.</p> <p class="p1">This year’s cover is a tribute to a few of the species of flora found on MIT’s campus. We hope these playful representations are a reminder to make time to enjoy your surroundings and care for the environment.</p> <div class="edition-credit mono"><p class="p1">Cover design by Wing-Ip Ngan, ink design, inc.</p> </div> <div class="edition-pdf"><a href="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MIT-Facts-2020-Accessible-with-Cover-and-Map.pdf" target="_blank">Download PDF</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="edition-entry"> <img width="465" height="400" src="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019.png" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="line art illustration of MIT nano building" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019.png 465w, https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019-300x258.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px" /> <div class="edition-content"> <h2 id="2019">2019</h2> <div class="edition-credit mono"><p class="p1">Cover design by Wing-Ip Ngan, ink design, inc.

In the words of MIT Corporation chairman Robert B. Millard ’73, the Campaign “is an opportunity to re-inspire, reenergize, and recommit the MIT community to our shared vision and values, while amplifying the power of our students, faculty, and staff to shape the future by providing them with the resources they need to do their best work.”</p> <p class="p1">The Campaign is guided by six priority areas that span the full breadth of the Institute: discovery science; health of the planet; human health; innovation and entrepreneurship; teaching, learning, and living; and strengthening MIT’s core (see Building MIT’s Resources for more detail). In his announcement of its launch, President L. Rafael Reif stated that the Campaign is MIT’s response to the urgent challenges facing humanity and an intensive effort to “seek the support of enthusiastic partners” that will help MIT accelerate positive change and amplify the impact of its work in the world.</p> <p class="p1">In keeping with the Campaign’s focus on the greater good, this year’s cover calls to mind the global nature of MIT’s mission, vision, education, and reach, reminding us that the opportunities for us to build a better world are infinite.</p> <p class="p1">For more information, visit betterworld.mit.edu.</p> <div class="edition-credit mono"><p class="p1">Cover design by Wing-Ip Ngan, ink design, inc.

MIT alumnus William Welles Bosworth designed the new Cambridge campus; its footprint is seen in the 1916 map on the cover.</p> <p class="p1">As Professor Mark Jarzombek (‘71) described in his book <i>Designing MIT: Bosworth’s New Tech</i>, Bosworth’s vision encompassed several key goals that are as important today as they were 100 years ago. These include interconnected buildings and interiors that encourage and support interdisciplinary interaction and communication, and the ability of the physical complex to adapt to the constantly evolving nature of science, technology, and the MIT community.</p> <p class="p1">The cover overleaf shows the outlines of the campus in the present day, its growth clearly evident. The darker lines of the Institute’s building footprints demonstrate that MIT’s commitment to Bosworth’s ideals of fostering communication and interaction through physical connection, and of adaptation to changing times and needs remains unchanged.</p> <div class="edition-credit mono"><p class="p1">Cover design by Wing-Ip Ngan, ink design, inc.

First, it created the Office of Sustainability to help the Institute realize its vision of the campus as a living laboratory where new ideas are tested. Then it launched the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative, which includes the Abdul Latif Jameel World Water and Food Security Lab, to promote transformative, interdisciplinary research relating to the environment. Most recently, it launched the MIT Climate Change Conversation, a dynamic campus-wide conversation that aims to explore and assess the broad range of actions that MIT could take to make a significant positive contribution to confront climate change.</p> <p class="p1">Each of these efforts represents MIT’s approach to tackling tough problems: engage the MIT community, foster the vibrant exchange of ideas, and inspire collective commitment to effect change.</p> <div class="edition-credit mono"><p class="p1">Cover design by Wing-Ip Ngan, ink design, inc.</p> </div> <div class="edition-pdf"><a href="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/MIT-Facts-2015-Accessible-with-Cover-and-Map.pdf" target="_blank">Download PDF</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="edition-entry"> <img width="504" height="468" src="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/2014.svg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="Florescent lines representing a network coming out of the MIT logo mark" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> <div class="edition-content"> <h2 id="2014">2014</h2> <div class="edition-credit mono"><p class="p1">Cover design by Wing-Ip Ngan, ink design, inc.</p> </div> <div class="edition-pdf"><a href="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/MIT-Facts-2014-Accessible-with-Cover-and-Map.pdf" target="_blank">Download PDF</a></div> </div> </div> </section>  </article>  </main>  </div>  </div>  <footer class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <a href="#" class="the-up-button hide easing" data-smooth-scroll><div class="up-bg"></div></a> <div class="inner-footer grid-x"> <div class="small-12 medium-12 large-6 cell footer-left"> <div class="purple-logo"> <a role="button" tabindex="0" href="https://web.mit.edu/" target="_blank"> <div class="logo" style="background-image: url(https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mit_logo_std_rgb_black-trimmed.svg);"></div> <div class="hover" style="background-image: url(https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mit_logo_std_rgb_black-trimmed.svg);"></div> </a> </div> <div class="footer-address">Massachusetts Institute of Technology<br /> 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA</div> </div> <div class="small-12 medium-12 large-6 cell"> <nav role="navigation"> <ul id="footer-links" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-279" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-279"><a target="_blank" href="https://whereis.mit.edu/">Campus Map</a></li> <li id="menu-item-147" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-137 current_page_item menu-item-147 active"><a href="https://facts.mit.edu/previous-editions/" aria-current="page">Previous Editions</a></li> <li id="menu-item-162" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-162"><a href="https://facts.mit.edu/about-mit-facts/">About MIT Facts</a></li> <li id="menu-item-280" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-280"><a target="_blank" href="https://mit.edu/accessibility">Accessibility</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div>  </footer>  </div>  </div>  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://facts.mit.edu/wp-content/themes/MITFacts2020/assets/scripts/scripts.js?ver=1646322984" id="site-js-js"></script> </body> </html>
