Jerome Wiesner, President of MIT (1971-1980)
“The experience of studying at MIT is like drinking from a fire hydrant”
At MIT Professional Education we recognize the effort of our participants.
The MIT Professional Education Fire Hydrant Award (FHA) was born from the description of Jerome Wiesner, president of MIT (1971-1980): “The experience of studying at MIT is like drinking from a fire hydrant.
Because life and learning at MIT requires firmness, constancy, and a lot of determination. At MIT, we challenge ourselves to solve the world’s problems and, therefore, our professional programs try to reflect and instill these characteristics.
Therefore, we reward the participants who stand out for their leadership skills throughout the program, and who reflect the most important values of MIT:
Excellence
Meritocracy
Courage
Humility
Curiosity
Passion for solving difficult problems
A strong desire to improve society
They have already made it
