The mission of the MIT Sloan Office of External Relations (OER) is to connect alumni and students with one another, by providing meaningful and beneficial engagement opportunities that strengthen our alumni network, create a culture of philanthropy, and reinforce a lifelong relationship with the school. MIT Sloan students have access to the influential and growing MIT Sloan alumni network from the time they arrive on campus.
With this focus, OER offers a variety of opportunities to connect with more than 31,000 MIT Sloan and 145,000 MIT alumni around the world. The Advisors Hub brings together students and alumni for resume reviews, informational interviews, and traditional mentoring. For individuals looking to make a lasting and direct impact on the MIT Sloan community, students can volunteer for their Class Giving campaigns. The Infinite Connection, MIT’s alumni database, hosted by the MIT Alumni Association, allows students to search for and connect with alumni in various industries or locations through its comprehensive database. Alumni are often asked to speak at or attend student conferences or club events. In addition, students are often invited to attend alumni events around the world hosted by the OER, which provide great opportunities to network with alumni.
Finally, there are more than 100 MIT alumni clubs, MIT Sloan alumni clubs, and Sloan 5 groups around the world, many of which open their events and networks to current students. Therefore, no matter where you live, a strong alumni connection is present and only continues to grow stronger. Services and activities like these also provide opportunities for alumni to reconnect with the school, and for you to begin building your lifelong relationship with the greater MIT Sloan community.
OER staff are eager to discuss ways in which Sloan students can tap into and benefit from the resources of MIT Sloan alumni across all of the school’s programs. If you have questions or would like to get involved with Alumni Experience, reach out via the information below.
