Harvard/MIT Cooperative Society
- Harvard/MIT Cooperative Society
The Harvard/MIT Cooperative Society or (The Coop) is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based cooperative serving the Harvard University and MIT campuses.
It was founded as the Harvard Cooperative in 1882 to supply books, school supplies, and coal. Today the store is an important resource for local students and their families to purchase textbooks, college logo merchandise, dorm room necessities, and so on. The store also offers the framing of diplomas, the ordering of class rings and the rental of graduation gowns.
According to published information, only students, faculty, alumni and employees of MIT, Harvard, Radcliffe College, Wheelock College, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and the personnel of the hospitals affiliated with the Harvard Medical School are eligible to join. However, no ID need be produced when membership is purchased making it available to, for example, non-matriculated students taking classes at Harvard Extension School to join.
Membership is $1 annually. The cooperative disburses its annual profits as a rebate to members.
