Residential Peer Mentor 2023 - Cambridge, United States - MIT Housing
Description
The function of the Residential Peer Mentor is to strengthen the support network for first-year students within their residential communities.
Peer Mentors are community-builders within the residences and serve as a support person for a group of first-year students (mentees).
They will assist in the implementation of First-Year Experience programs that take place in their houses and across campus. Successful Peer Mentors draw upon, and connect students to, resources within the house structure and across the Institute. Above all, they are role models for other students in their living groups and across MIT.Academic coursework takes precedence over this position; however, being a Peer Mentor needs to come before any other club, activity, sport, or additional job.
Peer Mentors report to Undergraduate Residential Life and receive direct supervision from the Area Director of their residence hall.The Role of the Peer Mentor
Peer Mentors receive a $600/academic year ($300.00 per semester) reduction in housing costs.
As this allotment is deducted from your MIT bursar's account, it could affect the room & board portion of your financial aid package.
Please speak to your financial aid counselor for more specific information.Peer Mentors will participate in Virtual Training on Sunday, August 20, 2023 and also receive an early move-in date (Friday, August 25, 2023) in order to assist with First-Year move-in.
