Spring HSSP 2020 Cancellation

Dear students and parents of Spring HSSP 2020,


We’re very sorry to inform you that we will not be running the remainder of Spring HSSP this year. Accordingly, please do not come to MIT campus for classes this Saturday (March 7), or for any future weeks. 


We understand that this is incredibly disappointing, and it breaks our hearts to cancel this program. It was wonderful to have you all on campus for the first week, and we hope that you enjoyed your experience. We look forward to having you at our programs in the future.


This cancellation is happening in accordance with MIT’s guidelines regarding the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) outbreak, which were updated yesterday (March 5) by MIT's president. Effectively immediately according to these guidelines, no events involving K–12 students are permitted until May 15, 2020, including our educational programs. As a student group at MIT, we are required to abide by these new guidelines, and we respect MIT’s decision to keep all of our students, teachers, and volunteers safe.


Our policy on program fee refunds will be announced in an upcoming email to enrolled students. We’re sorry that we aren’t able to provide further details now, but we will let you know as soon as we have finalized decisions on our end.


If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at spring-hssp@mit.edu.


We hope that all of you stay safe and healthy. 

Christina, Grace, Zawad
