E62 Wall Installation ✨ A wall transformed! ✨

We’re thrilled to unveil the new MIT Sloan Student Life Office installation in the hallways of E62-262 and E62-276! What began as a spark of inspiration in October 2022 has grown into a vibrant, colorful celebration of our student community.

With themes of community, care, and contribution, this wall is designed to be a welcoming space for all. Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this vision to life — from creative collaborators to those who shared their photos and stories.

Go checkout the new wallspace outside the classrooms E62-262 and E62-276, or view our video here! Have an idea to add something to the wall? Let us know by filling out this survey!!

BULLETIN BOARD

Camp Sloan 2025

Camp Sloan is an overnight hiking trip famous for bonding across the Sloan community in the scenic White Mountains. It is often named as a favorite memory for students, and the planning team is hoping to make it bigger and better than ever this year! 

Camp Sloan will cost attendees only $199 (includes transportation, lodging, and food) -- this is subsidized heavily by Student Life, and is less than 50% of the true cost of the trip. However, there is limited capacity given the size of the camp. Due to this, we will unfortunately not be able to invite SOs or families, and registration will be determined via lottery. 

Fill out this form to join the lottery!
