If you are a student and are not able to access enough food to sustain an active, healthy lifestyle, the food resources at MIT may be able to help.
Graduate Students
Graduate Residential Life (GRL) supports graduate students and their families who live in single graduate housing or in family housing. GRL helps students adjust to living on campus, addresses personal and interpersonal issues related to residential life, provides emergency family food grants, and partners with students to enhance their overall graduate student experience.
Supporting Students
CARE Team
Coordination, Assistance, Response, and Education
The CARE Team (Coordination, Assistance, Response, and Education) is a team of staff who support all students through challenges they may experience during their time at MIT. While MIT has many resources to support students, the CARE Team recognizes it can often be overwhelming for students to navigate all of the support available to them.
A primary function of the CARE Team is to support students during hospitalizations and discharge, and with follow up care. The CARE Team is a student-focused resource that empowers students to be in control of their own personal information, treatment plans, and future. With student consent, the CARE Team will also work with families of students to support them in supporting their loved ones.
If you are concerned about an MIT student or are concerned about a specific event, contact the CARE Team at 617-324-CARE (2273) or email: careteam@mit.edu. If you wish to submit a CARE form electronically, click on the box labeled "Concerned About a Student."
