With MIT President Susan Hockfield as the featured speaker, the Quarter Century Club (QCC) inducted 125 new members during an April 16 luncheon at the MIT Faculty Club. QCC President Yvonne L. Gittens welcomed new members and provided the history of the QCC. Also on hand to welcome inductees were QCC members with 50 years of service.

This year's class of 125 new members includes 88 inductees from the Cambridge campus, 35 from Lincoln Laboratory and two from Haystack Observatory. There are currently 3,686 members of the club.

Membership in the QCC is offered to faculty, administrative, research, support and service staff who have celebrated their 25th anniversary with the Institute. The club is chartered with promoting good fellowship among long-term associates of the MIT community and furthering the well being of its membership through cultural, educational and social events. The QCC is headquartered in the Community Services Office (E19-432).

Upcoming QCC events include the annual summer gathering on Monday, June 8, the Silver Club High Tea in the fall and the holiday party in December.
