• February 2023: MIT Sloan ➡️ Focused on Community!

  The MIT Sloan community has a mantra: Sloanies Helping Sloanies. The idea? When we support one another, we create a larger impact. 
  
  With students, faculty, and staff from around the world, MIT Sloan prides itself on welcoming people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and interests. The community is marked by its passion for solving problems and tackling big challenges, its respect for varied viewpoints, and its entrepreneurial spirit.

  One of the ways we help you build strong and diverse personal and professional networks is through our community events. Some of these include:

  • The Ask Me Anything (AMA) event series: It provides firsthand personal perspectives on elements of personal identity. Past events have addressed national identity; religious, racial, sexual, and ethnic identities; veterans' experiences; and themes such as mental illness.
     
  • ClubFest: MIT Sloan’s 80+ student clubs​ offer students the opportunity for involvement and leadership in a wide range of professional, social, recreational, and cultural activities. Every September, the Stude​nt Life Office organizes ClubFest to introduce incoming students to the many clubs that MIT Sloan has to offer.
     
  • The Yarn: The Yarn is an event in which Sloanies share unforgettable personal stories with one another about the things that matter most in their lives. It’s about going deeper as a community and celebrating the diversity of values, perspectives, and experiences that we share at MIT Sloan.​

  We hope you’ll join us at an upcoming admissions event to learn even more about our vibrant community.

  
  Best,

• January 2023: Here's to a Great Start in 2023!

  January at MIT is a little bit different. Independent Activities Period—or IAP—is a special four-week term where students are free to set their own educational agendas, explore independent projects, meet with faculty, or generally take part in activities not available during the semester.
  
  IAP has been around for five decades, providing the MIT community with a unique opportunity to organize, sponsor, and participate in a variety of activities. From Battlecode to Leading the Energy Transition to Advanced Bacterial Photography to a Stand-Up Comedy Crash Course, this year’s selection is no exception.
