The membership of the MIT Quarter Century Club consists of faculty and all staff with 25 cumulative years of benefits-eligible service time. New members are inducted into the Club every month! Each month, we induct a new set of longtime employees who reached their service anniversary in the month prior, celebrating their accomplishments in advance of our annual Welcome Luncheon. The primary purpose of the Club is to promote good fellowship among long-term members of our community. To that end, the Club’s Board of Directors hosts several social events throughout the year, including a summer gathering, a high tea, and a winter holiday party. The Club is comprised of 4,649 active and retired members; 206 members have served the Institute for more than 50 years.
