lingo used at MIT
This acronym and abbreviation wiki aims to help community members decipher the "alphabet soup" of acronyms and other mysterious terms used at the Institute. This list builds on one created in the Libraries in 1989. Old and even defunct acronyms and abbreviations are included here because some people still use them. Most of the items are MIT terms, but the dictionary also lists some external organizations that are referred to at MIT. This wiki also includes a page with MIT lingo.
