Dear 15.390 students ,

We would like to invite you to serve as a mentor for our MIT Launch Summer Programs.

MIT Launch Summer Programs are two 4-week entrepreneurship education programs held for high school students at MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The first session this summer will be held between June 8th and July 7th, and the second session will be held between July 11th and August 8th.

You can be either a General Mentor or a Specialized Mentor.

Ø  General mentors are entrepreneurs, MBA graduates, or business degree holders who have enough entrepreneurship knowledge to guide team/s on how to build a business. General mentors will meet virtually or physically with their team/s twice a week for 1 hour/meeting for a period of 3.5 weeks.

Ø  Specialized mentors are professionals who are specialized in marketing, finance/accounting, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, coding, operations, law/IP, etc., who will meet virtually or physically with teams following inquiries coming from the teams.

Your email will be used to setup meetings.

If you are interested in being a mentor, please fill the following form no later than May 19th (takes less than 2 minutes to fill): http://goo.gl/forms/7XlOuxq0ZU
