What are the responsibilities of Program Associates?
Program Associates are MIT Amgen Scholars who will act as peer mentors to others in the program, particularly those students that are new to the campus. They will organize activities aimed at introducing visiting students to the Boston/Cambridge area, and develop and host social events designed to cultivate lasting connections between MIT Scholars and those that are new to our campus. Two MIT students admitted to the Amgen-UROP Scholars Program will be selected as Program Associates. Program Associates will also collaborate with UAAP staff in organizing educational activities, such as faculty lunches and poster making workshops. They will also play a central role in organizing the poster session reception planned for the end of the Program.
