Application Form (For Spring 2016 Training)

As a Peer Ear, you'll be expected to play an active role in planning workshops, trying to reach out to your living group, and supporting your peers in the best way you feel appropriate :) That being said, you are highly encouraged to attend the 1/month General Body Meetings and semi-weekly living group meetings that are held. We do at the end of the year request that you reaffirm whether you would like to continue with Peer Ears or not.

Note: Due to current MIT Medical Policies, students who are designated MedLinks unfortunately cannot be accepted.
