Student-Alumni Mentoring Initiative (SAMI)
SAMI strives to enhance the academic, professional, and personal experiences of the Ed School's graduate students and alumni. This Cambridge-based, in-person program supports mentor relationships between local alumni and current master's and doctoral students. Through this effort, SAMI hopes to inspire a community of mentors dedicated to fostering growth and development spanning multiple generations of students, teachers, and leaders.
Due to an ovewhelming response from students and alumni , unfortunately we are no longer able to accept applications for the 2011-2012 year. Thank for your interest in the program and please stay tuned for future opportunities.
