Breakfast Series with Katie Torrence
About
The Breakfast Series is a regular series from the MIT Women's League. Women in the MIT community are invited to join us to hear from women faculty and administrators explore the role of women in the academy, sharing the pathways their professional lives have taken — the people and events that have influenced their direction. A full plated breakfast will be served, prepared by Chef Patrick Campbell. This event is open the MIT Community only. Katie Torrence is a community builder, advocate, and cancer survivor whose journey through diagnosis and recovery transformed the way she approaches leadership, connection, and resilience. Through her work at one of the world’s leading research institutions and her advocacy with the American Cancer Society, she is passionate about creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. Katie speaks candidly about survivorship, personal growth, and finding purpose through life’s most difficult challenges. Space is limited. Please email
