Rainbow Coffeehouse

Welcome to the MIT Rainbow Coffeehouse website! We are a social organization whose mission is to provide a safe, friendly and fun environment for MIT's LBGT community. All events are free and open to MIT students, alumni, faculty, staff and their friends. Visitors from other colleges and universities are also welcome. We are sponsored by the MIT GSC (Graduate Student Council) and BGALA.

We communicate with our members about upcoming events and general announcements via our mailing list.

We now offer an online subscription form for many MIT LBGT email-lists (including Rainbow Coffeehouse membership list).
