The IAP Reason for God series has become an annual tradition at MIT since 2014.
It’s for anyone (the religious, the spiritual, the skeptic, the seeker, atheists, Christians and people of any faith tradition).  We hope this series be a time to learn, explore, ask questions, and help us all in our pursuit of truth. Our values for the event are honesty, learning, humility, respect, kindness, and listening well to one another.

We hope you will join us for one or more sessions this year! 

WHAT TO EXPECT EACH NIGHT
We start with catered meal and then transition to our guest speaker for the night. If you want to know what food is being served you can find that info here. At each session you can expect to see 150-200 students. The audience is very diverse in the beliefs each person holds. Once most people have gone through the food line (usually at about 7:20), we will introduce the speaker for the evening. Following the speaker there will be a time for audience members to ask questions to the speaker. You will be able to ask your question directly to the speaker or submit them anonymously. We aim to end the event around 8:30pm. You are welcome to continue discussions in the room afterwards or talk more with the speaker.

Free Books - at each event, there will be free books available (1 per student) for those who want to go deeper into topics of Faith, Reason, God, the Bible, etc.
