Hosting U.S. Elections Related Events

With the U.S. elections coming up, it is important to engage our community through awareness and constructive discussion. If you are interested in hosting an event that centers healthy dialogue and involvement, please connect with the Student Life team at slquestions@mit.edu

Office Highlight: Office of External Relations

If your club is interested in connecting with alumni, the Office of External Relations will be happy to facilitate connections with the alumni communities. This can mean helping to host social gatherings or assisting in scheduling meetings at particular companies of interest.

Ways OER Can Promote Your Club Events:

  • Regional volunteers – we can ask MIT Sloan Clubs and Sloan 5 groups (located around the world) to promote events or conferences;
  • Virtual Programs Digest – we can share your events (dependent on size and alumni involvement) in our monthly newsletter;
  • Social media – our Communications staff can either share or retweet content from your accounts;
  • Word of mouth – members of our office meet with hundreds of alumni annually, all over the world, and we can help spread the word through these meetings.
