Graduate School 101 & 102

Grad School 101/102 is a series of sessions and panel discussions sponsored by the Graduate Students Office designed to present students with important information to improve their entry into graduate school at MIT. Incoming students from previous years have found these discussions to be very helpful in adjusting to graduate life and in being prepared for what comes with it.

This year, the first and second days of orientation will be entirely devoted to Grad School 101 and 102, giving you a one-stop resource to answer many of the questions new graduate students have about MIT.

These discussions are free and open to all first year students!

GS101/102 Seminar Information

Light breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided! See the Orientation Schedule for more details!
