MIT's annual Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Week is scheduled for March 9-13, 2020.
At MindHandHeart, we define kindness as being caring, respectful, inclusive, supportive, considerate, and doing good things for others.
RAK Week is an opportunity for our entire campus community to come together through spontaneous acts of generosity (called "RAK Hacks") and loosely planned events. It is a chance to intentionally practice kindness during the week and inspire kindness all year round. We invite you to join us and Spread the Heart MIT!
