The Office of Graduate Education (OGE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will host its annual MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP) from June 10 – August 11, 2018.

I am writing to ask for your assistance in identifying talented underrepresented minority – particularly Black/African American, American Indian, Latinx/Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander – and underserved undergraduate students who may benefit from a highly-competitive, 9-week, research-intensive experience. We are seeking emerging researchers interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in one of over thirty academic programs at MIT including architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts, and social sciences; and science.

I am happy to answer any questions and look forward to the applicants you will send our way. Thank you in advance for your support in broadening participation in graduate education!
