SUMMARY:RAK Week: Random Acts of Kindness Week
DESCRIPTION:MIT’s annual Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Week is scheduled for March 1-5\, 2021. \n\n\n\nAt MindHandHeart\, we define kindness as being caring\, respectful\, inclusive\, supportive\, considerate\, and doing good things for others. RAK Week is an opportunity for our entire campus community to come together (virtually and in-person) through loosely planned events and spontaneous acts of generosity called “RAK Hacks.” It is a chance to intentionally practice kindness during the week and inspire kindness all year round. We invite you to join us and Spread the Heart MIT!
