Dorm Spam - Dorms and living groups at MIT have unofficial mailing lists where people send out email (dorm spam) announcing events and publicizing their student groups.

Consider asking students to send dorm spam to their own dorms; people are more likely to look at the email longer if they recognize the name of the sender.

Facebook Ads - We tried this in 2013. It's unclear how effective they are, but they are cheap and can be used to target MIT students.
