MIT Sloan Student Life

Here with you, for you.

The Student Life Office's New Website!

We are very excited to announce and launch our office’s new website! 

The Student Life staff has spent the summer recreating the Student Life website for a more student friendly experience. The new website on SloanGroups contains information that formerly lived in three different sites, including MySloan. Our goal was to create a website that truly reflects the values and mission of the Sloan Student Life Office. We hope you find our website to be welcoming, intuitive, and useful. Both our office and new website exist to help you navigate your Sloan experience!

Our website contains information about how to get involved, how to get support and how student leaders get stuff done! Learn more about Sloan student organizations, the benefits of club leadership, and how to make the most of your Sloan experience outside the classroom.

We are so thrilled to be sharing this resource with you, and hope you find it useful as you begin or continue on your Sloan journey. 

Thank you, 
Nia, Paul, Nicole, Elizabeth, Rebecca, & Jackie

BULLETIN BOARD

Volunteer for the ESL Program!

The MIT English as a Second Language Program for Service Employees is looking for volunteers to connect with day and night shift service employees for one hour/week, helping them improve their English skills through informal conversations or ESL coursework. No experience is required, just a good command of English, a smartphone, and an interest in helping individuals whose first language is not English. The goals of the program are to build students' confidence, to help them become more productive in their jobs, and to open up further opportunities for advancement. These classes take place at various times during the day from 11:00am - midnight starting Sept. 26 – Dec. 16, 2022.

This is an opportunity to make a real and positive difference. If you are interested, please contact esl-admins@mit.edu.
