The work world into which MIT graduates are going is more complex. More is expected of them, and opportunities are greater for them.

Leadership

By its very (entrepreneurial) nature, MIT has always created leaders. But now, the Institute is building on that tradition by actively promoting leadership skills in its students. After all, tomorrow’s leaders will need to be knowledgeable in science and technology, so it makes perfect sense to grow them here. And in the process, MIT will be fulfilling its mission of service to the nation and the world.

Leadership opportunities permeate life at the Institute. Whether through one of several student government groups, or through fraternities, sororities, and independent living groups (FSILGs); whether through established leadership-building programs like LeaderShape® or BioMatrix; whether through varsity sports or ROTC; MIT is actively encouraging leadership activities — and students are responding.

The Campaign for Students has set priorities for leadership development at MIT, which are to —

  • Produce leaders who are technologically and scientifically knowledgeable;
  • provide opportunities for students to hone leadership skills through retreats, FSILGs and mentoring, and student government programs; and
  • give MIT graduates the ability to lead in their chosen fields.
