The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.
The Tech is MIT's oldest and largest newspaper. We have provided MIT faculty, staff, and students with continuous news service since 1881. We publish on Tuesdays and Fridays during the regular school year, weekly during the month of January, and monthly during the summer. The Tech is published daily during MIT's Orientation period, which begins the last week of August.
The Tech is published by the students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our staff is composed of undergraduate and graduate student volunteers, although a number of alumni lurk around our offices from time to time.
