The power of representation and connectivity in STEM education
Bridging Talents and Opportunities event serves as an outreach initiative for the Latin community.
Read moreHi MIT! We're GFLI@MIT (pronounced "G-Fly"), the new and only organization catered to first generation college graduates and low income students (GFLI) across all MIT graduate programs! Our logo embodies the belief that GFLI students belong at MIT, and the ability of GFLI students to "fly" to new heights beyond the stars.
The “GFLI” label encompasses all first-generation and/or low income graduate students (master's or PhDs) and postdocs at MIT. This identity is often self-defined, but MIT typically refers to these identities in the following ways:
Join us for some of our events
