Dear John,

This April marks the 20th anniversary of OCW. For two decades you’ve learned with us, shared your stories with us, shared our resources with others, tuned in to course videos and podcast conversations, connected with our online community, and helped us make OCW even better for you and your fellow learners.

Through your use, your trust, and your engagement with OCW, you’ve become caretakers of the vision that began in 2001 to share knowledge from MIT openly and freely. Thanks to your commitment and curiosity, we are able to mark 20 years of open sharing with an even more ambitious vision for the future of OCW as we work to develop the NextGen OCW platform.

In short, it’s taken a community to bring OCW to this moment and we want you to be part of the celebrations!

We invite you to join us in a live virtual celebration of OCW’s impact, community, and the future of open sharing on Wednesday, April 7 at 12 pm ET. Registering for the event will allow you to add the celebration to your calendar, but you can access the webcast link here.

We look forward to sharing this exciting moment in our history with you!

Sincerely,
Krishna and Curt
