Our Mission

Minorities in Tech’s mission is to act as a forum to build and foster an inclusive, multicultural environment for the underrepresented minority (URM) students in CSE.

Through a range of events and collaborative efforts, we aim to create a supportive ecosystem that embraces diversity, promotes equity, and empowers every member of the MiT community!

FAQs

  • When we refer to "minority," we specifically focus on underrepresented minorities in the field of computing. For clarity, we align with the National Science Foundation's (NSF) definition of Underrepresented Minorities (URM), which includes federally recognized populations such as African American/Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Latino/Hispanic. Our commitment to fostering an inclusive environment centers around these communities, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, feels welcomed and supported within the MiT community.
