    You are invited! Connect with MAPPsters from around the globe for our annual MAPP Meet Up Day (aka MUD), held virtually on March 20th, 2026.

    This MAPP tradition celebrates both World Happiness Day and our vibrant, growing community of 850+ MAPPsters. The MAPP Alumni Association Board is hard at work coordinating details, so for now, save the date - and rest assured, no matter where in the world you are, we are planning with your time zone in mind ;)
