Two ongoing efforts at MIT to get out the vote may have contributed to the Institute’s strong participation in the 2020 elections. The pairing of the ALL IN working group, part of the All In Campus Democracy Challenge, and MITvote two years ago has helped elevate voting on campus, bringing together students, staff, and faculty to encourage participation in the democratic process.
Inspired by the MIT community and assisted by his collaborators, postdoc Francesco Benedetti launched a startup to provide innovative technology for energy-efficient, high-performance chemical separations and won the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition.
