Introducing the UA Committee on Student Life's...Program in Leadership and Undergraduate Success (PLUS)!

PLUS links upperclassmen to underclassmen in a peer-to-peer, one-on-one mentoring relationship encompassing the leadership, academic, career, and social aspects of MIT. The core of the program is the individual mentor-mentee relationships that foster leadership development.

FRESHMEN... What do you get out of being a PLUS mentee?

- Peer-to-peer, one-on-one mentorship is incredibly rare on campus. This is your chance to develop a relationship with an upperclassman who will be able to answer your questions about classes, internships, career goals, where to find resources at MIT, etc.

- Learn how to make your mark on campus and on the community! Through leadership development workshops and the guidance of your mentor, you will be able to build on your ability to initiate change and achieve goals. You will put these skills to use when you set an individual goal for a leadership project and work to achieve it during the fall semester.

- You will have access to the PLUS network, enabling you to form relationships with other mentors and freshmen mentees. All PLUS mentors are leaders on campus chosen through a highly competitive application process, and are involved in a wide range of student groups and activities.

- You will have full access to all of the PLUS events, including restaurant gift certificates for you and your mentor.
