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 overwhelming response rate, the SAMI Mentee Application is now closed. Thank you for your interest and we hope you will consider joining us as a SAMI Mentor next year.
Thank you!
