Fall Planning Follow-Up: 8-2-2022

Hello everyone! For those who participated on Tuesday, thank you for the great conversation. For anyone who missed it, please prepare for an inspirational, thought-provoking journey into the fall plan via this video. Presentation slides are below.

Recap of the decision timeline is below. Please swing by the MITGO Slack channel to continue the conversation about these exciting options!

To be finalized by 8/15:

• Career Fair – Should PMs attend the fair? Should MISTI have a table? Is there anything we’d like to do with the employers?
  NOTE: MISTI will have a table at the fair and PM volunteers will participate. We will also try and visually ID employers who also offer international internships.
• Career exploration event for October – what will it look like? When should it be? Should it be in tandem with MIT Go Fair?

Program Decisions:

• Do I need program materials designed for fall?
• Am I having an info session or office hours?

To be finalized by 8/29:

• MIT GO Fair – When should it be? Inside or outside of Kresge?
• Biological Eng Career Expo (9/30) – Should we be involved?

Program Decisions:

• What kind of pop-up event would I like to host? When makes the most sense? Is there a cultural holiday or existing event?
• Which 3 students should I request to feature on my microsite?

To be finalized by 9/15:

• MIT GO Fair – What is the agenda? Which students should we showcase/use as ambassadors? Do we need takeaways?
• Career exploration event for IAP – Should we do a virtual event? Do 1-2 countries want to do a career pop-up?

Program Decisions:

• Which program alumni are doing exciting work right now?
• Can I sign up to do a pop-up this semester?
