Today, Natalie Lorenz Anderson ’84 begins her one-year term as president of the MIT Alumni Association (MITAA). Raised in California, Lorenz Anderson is passionate about addressing climate change, having become aware of climate issues at an early age as she witnessed water shortages, learned about endangered species, and lived through the oil embargo and ensuing long lines at gas pumps in the 1970s. However, it was her other interests—in Star Trek, model airplanes, and space (she had her sights set on becoming an astronaut)—that led her to apply to MIT. https://bit.ly/3XGG4Xp
