Hello,
I hope the beginning of the semester is off to a great start!
I’m writing to ask for your support with sharing the message below with sophomores and juniors in your department about applying to the Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership (GEL) Program. Again this year we have implemented a rolling admissions process to continue to be able to best support students and lend predictability to their lives and schedules for next year. For those not as familiar with our program, GEL enables juniors and seniors to practice and develop their leadership, teamwork, and communication skills within an engineering context. This helps students apply their technical skills more effectively, and acts as a force multiplier, enabling students to have a more powerful impact in their future profession and in the world. (While the majority of our students are engineering majors, we do make exceptions to those open to the idea of working in industry and committed to developing their leadership skills.)
We will announce a final application deadline later in the coming weeks, but spots in the program are first come, first serve and limited. We therefore encourage students to apply early as we can guarantee there are currently still spots available. See additional info below.
We also invite you or your departmental colleagues to encourage students to apply to GEL. If you and/or a colleague in your department (faculty or staff) would like to nominate a student for GEL, simply forward their name to me (emillign at mit.edu<mailto:emillign at mit.edu>). I will then reach out and send them a personalized nomination. Students are typically thrilled when they learn that a member of their department nominated them for GEL, and it often leads them to apply. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you again for your ongoing  support!
Eileen

Hello Sophomores & Juniors!
The Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program (GEL)’s Application Period is Open!
You came to MIT to solve the world’s most challenging and complex problems. MIT will give you the academic foundation to do that, but those problems will not be solved alone; they will be solved in teams – and those teams will be led by the next generation of engineering leaders. GEL will help you develop the capabilities you will need to leverage your technical skills for maximum impact. GEL also offers its students unique professional development opportunities, and connections with our extensive industry network and an active and growing alumni network. For more info: gelp.mit.edu/admissions<http://gelp.mit.edu/admissions>
If you too are excited about further enhancing your teamwork skills and developing as a leader through the GEL Program, NOW is the time to apply!<https://warnerresearch.quickbase.com/db/bd7gvgxg9>
Application Process/Rolling Admissions: The application process is simple and includes a short online application followed by a 30-minute Zoom interview with a GEL Staff Member scheduled at a time of your convenience. Once you have completed both components of the application process, we will follow up within a week regarding our admissions decision. While we will later announce a final application deadline in the coming weeks, spots in the program are first come, first serve and are limited. We therefore encourage you to apply early as we can guarantee there are currently still spots available. See additional info below.
Email questions or set up a short coffee chat with Eileen Milligan (emillign at mit.edu<mailto:emillign at mit.edu>).
We look forward to receiving your application!
Eileen
