GSC International Graduate Student Mentoring Program

The International Graduate Student Mentorship Program (IGSMP) helps new incoming graduate students transition to graduate student life at MIT. We pair the student with a current graduate student or alumnus according to MIT department, country of origin, interests, etc. The incoming student will be in e-mail contact with his/her mentor during the summer prior to arriving at MIT. During the fall Orientation, the new student will have the opportunity to meet his/her mentor at the International Students Mentorship Reception/Dinner on September 10 from 6-8 pm in La Sala, W20.
