Dear BAMIT Family,

Your impact matters. Last year, thirteen students who participated in BE@MIT are now thriving at MIT. 100% of those admitted enrolled. That's because of mentors like you. We're continuing this work for the 2026-2027 cycle and we'd love to have you join us this year.

BE@MIT connects you one-on-one with high-achieving Black prospects to share your MIT story and answer their questions about academic, social, and cultural life at MIT. The time commitment is 30-60 minutes per student and you choose how many you want to meet.

Ready to mentor? Please register using this link:

BE@MIT is for me.

You can also help fill the pipeline for prospective students. We are pleased to let you know about two upcoming BE UnliMITed sessions hosted by BAMIT in collaboration with the MIT Admissions Office. These virtual information sessions will feature a panel of Black current students and alumni/ae and are designed to give students and families a sense of the academic, social, and cultural experiences at MIT.

BAMIT members are welcome to attend, and we are asking you to share the information directly with high school students and parents in your networks who might be interested. Click here for a flyer.

These sessions are on Sunday, October 18 @ 3pm ET and Sunday, October 25 @ 3pm ET. Students can register at mitadm.org/be-unlimited. If you have any questions, please email BAMITadmissionsinfo@bamit.org.

You can be a bridge for students who need to know that MIT sees them, believes in them, and wants them here.

Thank you for your support as we work to improve the diversity of the student body to enable MIT to sustain excellence in education, research, and innovation.

Best,

Elissa Gibson '22 & Patrice Langford '95
