Resident Peer Mentor

The Resident Peer Mentor Program are upperclass students who are given the opportunity to work within their houses to build community for their students. RPMs work through programming and one-on-one interactions to help first year navigate through the academic year to build and strength their connections in their houses and in the greater MIT community. Successful Peer Mentors are an individuals who can draw upon and connect students to resources within the house and across the institute. Above all, Peer Mentors are role models for other students in their living group and across MIT.

A Peer Mentor is appointed for a full academic year, and the interview processes are conducted within your residence hall.

Peer Engagement Ambassadors

Peer Engagement Ambassadors are upperclassmen who have served previously as RPMs that work closely with the Peer Mentor Committee. PEAs help in creating community between all the Peer Mentors on campus, create campus wide first-year programming, and further build first-years’ connection to MIT’s campus and the greater Cambridge/Boston area. A successful Peer Engagement Ambassador is an individual who can use their enthusiasm for mentorship and knowledge of resources to create opportunities for first year student involvement and can act as a role model to their fellow students.
