Senior dinners at the MIT President's House are attended by about half the senior class and hosted by key alumni volunteers. The senior class presents its gift to MIT during the Commencement exercises. The Association assists class volunteers with Senior Week activities in the week prior to graduation. Student Ambassadors are students who volunteer for service activities involving alumni, such as Tech Week and the Association Expo, which introduces graduating students to the services of the Association. The Association has taken the position that this need not be so by targeting special efforts to reach this alumni market.
Many clubs have special programs and membership rates for recent graduates.
Funds are allocated to underwrite reunion activities to make them more affordable. The World Wide Web and other alumni network services have proven to be particularly attractive to this group of alumni. Solicitations have been developed for this market, especially at the fifth and tenth reunions, with increasing success. The entrepreneurial spirit is an MIT hallmark. The Association taps this market primarily through the MIT Enterprise Forum and its 18 chapters worldwide.
