We are excited to welcome (back) new (and returning) students! Throughout the summer months, students in the Sloan Fellows (SFMBA), Executive MBA (EMBA), Master of Finance (MFin), Leaders for Global Operations (LGO), Business Analytics (MBAn), MBA, MSMS, Undergraduate, and PhD programs will embark on their Sloan journeys.

The staff in the Student Life Office looks forward to meeting and building community with you whether you participate in student clubs and organizations at Sloan, run for elected positions in Sloan Senate, contact our office for resources, or just stop by to say hello at one of our Meet the Suite events! The Student Life Office at MIT Sloan is here to help you navigate your Sloan experience. We advise and coach student clubs, support initiatives to promote individual well-being, produce School-wide events and programs that build community, promote diversity and inclusion, and enhance the principled and value-centered culture that defines MIT Sloan. We provide students with opportunities to organize and run clubs and events, participate in student government, and plan conferences and treks. We host a variety of programs and events to bring the student community together across all degree programs (#OneSloan), and we look forward to meeting you in the coming weeks and months!!

Welcome to Sloan!
