MIT Mondays

MIT Mondays is a new series of webinars moderated by Senior Associate Dean Denzil Streete on the journey to graduate education. These sessions will offer different perspectives from current MIT graduate students as they tell their stories of finding their way to MIT.

There is no linear path to graduate education! MIT Mondays highlight the unique journeys and backgrounds of our MIT graduate students with prospective students. By sharing these stories, we believe we can communicate the critical message that everyone “belongs” at MIT.

Please join us for one of these live webinars via Zoom by registering at the links below.
