MIT CASE (Class Awareness, Support, and Equality) is run by MIT students and is open to all MIT students regardless of identity. Founded in 2016, the group hosts a monthly forum in which attendees discuss issues of class disparity and more generally have a dialogue about understanding people’s differences.

The mission of MIT CASE centers around:

• Community: Providing a supportive community and atmosphere through which students feel comfortable engaging in meaningful dialogue surrounding class-based issues and participating in CASE forums
• Action: Working with MIT administrators to create and implement effective solutions to ease financial strains that incoming and current students will face on campus
• Awareness: Improving the MIT community’s awareness of class disparities and knowledge of the socioeconomic status (SES) system.
• Resources: Provide information regarding resources on and off campus that would best help students undergoing adversities related to socioeconomic status
