Can you believe it? I have an MIT Infinite Connection [1]. The often ranked number 1 technical university in the world gave me an MIT Infinite Connection account. I could even join the Oregon Southwestern Washington MIT Alumni club once I created my account.
Why?
After I took a calculus course, after several MITx courses, where I earned As and finished one course in half the allotted time, I was asked to fill out a survey. In that survey, MIT asked me questions about my professional life and academic life. After I completed the survey, I started receiving MIT News and MIT Technology Review for free. I thought it was because of the survey. The magazine costs 13 dollars a pop. I continued my calculus courses from MITx on edx.org.
Recently, I received an Email from MIT, with a special number associated with my Email address, asking me to create an MIT Infinite Connection account. I was dumbfounded. I gave it a go, created the account, and joined my regional MIT alumni club. I am an official MIT Friend of MIT to one of the most prestigious technical universities in the world. I am proud.
I am proud that someone from MIT recognized my work. I assume that is why I was given an MIT Infinite Connection account, which was verified by MIT Alum help. To be recognized by them is quite special indeed.
With that said, I am most proud of my Oregon State University School of Chemical Engineering alum status.
