Need a break from the lab 🧪? Join the us for Riwaq, a new bi-weekly space to unwind, connect, and build community with folks from—or interested in—the broad region.

🗓️ Wednesday, Feb 25 | 7:00 PM
📍4th floor R&D Pub of Stata (Building 32)

Come for the tea, stay for the culture ✨

Expect cozy community vibes and future plans like:
🎧 music listening sessions
📽️ film screenings
🏛️ shared history
🍽️ food + storytelling

Who’s welcome?
Focused on grad students & postdocs, but open to any MIT member (including undergrads!) who’s interested in the region and culture.

🍯 On the menu: rotating tea + desserts — a different Arab country is featured each time! 🥐

Starting with Egypt (@mit_esa) 🇪🇬 Come try Basbousa, along with both caffeinated and decaf versions of mint tea. 🌿☕

To help us cut down on waste, please bring your own mug if you can so we can avoid single-use cups! ♻️
