Launched in Fall 2023, the MAS Alumni Mentorship Program seeks to connect the past and the present. The virtual program runs annually in the fall semester, and is an opportunity for current Media Arts & Sciences (MAS) students to gain professional development advice and mentorship from our alumni, while providing an opportunity for alumni to engage with the Media Lab community.
Please complete the appropriate form below to participate!
Fall 2026 registration is now open! Please submit your information here if you would like to participate.
Alumni are matched with one student mentee, and we expect that you meet three times over the course of the program (ideally once per month). However, you may meet more frequently if desired!
Once you register, participants will be contacted to confirm involvement for the upcoming session. Once registration closes, alumni profiles will be shared anonymously with registered students, who will provide MAS with their top 3 alumni choices. Alumni and current students will then be contacted via email with their matches.
Program Resources
- Review our sample agenda before your first meeting
- Current students can prepare for their first meeting by exploring discussion topics and activities
