🏛️ Art, history, and a great evening with the VISTA community ✨

This Thursday we explored the beautiful Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum together and enjoyed one of Boston’s most unique spots. From stunning galleries to hidden corners, it was the perfect mix of culture, conversation, and community 🤍

A big thank you to everyone who joined us — and stay tuned for more upcoming VISTA events!

Running with purpose! 🏃‍♀️💙 We had an incredible sunny Sunday morning at the Boston Common for the Race to Cure Sarcoma!

Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive group of cancers, and because it’s so rare, research funding is often limited. That’s why events like this are incredibly important. By showing up, MIT VISTA joined a massive national movement: the Sarcoma Foundation of America has hosted over 130 of these races, bringing together 55,000+ participants and raising more than $8.5 million globally for life-saving research and patient education! 🎗️✨

A huge shoutout to everyone who ran, walked, or cheered us on from the sidelines. Together, we’re helping bring more awareness and support to the sarcoma community.

Art or science? Why not both? 🖼️🔬

We had a fantastic turnout for our VISTA tour of the Image Awards exhibition at the Koch Institute. From hidden cellular structures to gorgeous biological processes, it was incredible to see scientific research through an artistic lens.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great afternoon! 🙌🏼

Join us for a meaningful and inspiring morning at the Race to Cure Sarcoma in support of the Sarcoma Foundation of America! Whether you want to run, walk, or simply come cheer everyone on, it’s a great way to support sarcoma research and the community together. 🏃‍♀️💙

Sarcomas are a rare, aggressive group of cancers that develop in bones and soft tissues such as muscles, fat, nerves, and connective tissue, which can affect people of all ages. Because sarcomas are so rare, research funding is often limited, which makes events like this especially important!

⏰ Schedule:
• 7:00 AM – Registration & Packet Pickup
• 8:00 AM – Opening Ceremony
• 8:30 AM – 5K Race Start / 1 Mile Walk Start
• 9:30 AM (estimated) – Closing Ceremony

You can choose between:
🏃 5K Run (timed or untimed)
🚶 1 Mile Walk (untimed)
Or simply come support and cheer!

💵 Registration fee: $35
You can still register on Sunday morning until 8:30 AM.
