User Groups at MIT
A variety of user groups focused on information technology topics flourish at MIT. Some of these groups are directly sponsored by MIT, while others are from outside MIT but hold meetings here. User groups typically meet regularly (e.g., once a month) on the MIT campus, and/or correspond via email.
