Know Your Resource: MIT TurboVote

MIT partners with TurboVote — a non-profit website that seeks to increase voter turnout by helping its users register to vote, find polling places, and research election issues — to help students, faculty, and staff register to vote in local, state, and national elections, by mail or in person, whether they reside in Massachusetts or another state. 

It takes five minutes or less to register, and you can use it to request an absentee ballot and/or subscribe to reminders about registration and voting deadlines and locations in relevant elections. 

BULLETIN BOARD

Let's Chat with MIT Health SMHCS

Wednesday, August 28th & Thursday, August 29th 
3pm-5pm 
To sign up for an appointment, simply fill out this form. 

Let’s Chat is a drop-in service that provides MIT undergraduate and graduate students with easy access to informal, free, confidential consultations with clinicians from MIT Health’s Student Mental Health & Counseling. Meetings are 20 minutes long and will take place over Zoom.

Let’s Chat is a good fit for:

• Students who are not sure about the counseling process and want to know what it’s like to talk with a clinician or to learn about student mental health resources
• Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a clinician
• Students who have a specific problem and would like to talk with someone about it; common concerns include stress, sadness, anxiety, difficulty adjusting to school, family issues, and relationship issues
• Students who have a concern about a friend and would like advice on what to do

Let’s Chat isn’t formal counseling; if you are currently in distress or would like to connect with a clinician for mental health services, call Student Mental Health & Counseling at 617-253-2916 and ask to speak with a mental health clinician
