The Dean’s Office Staff Initiatives are intended to enrich, inform, and support your experience as staff members of SA+P.
For Support and Administrative Staff
SA+P Staff Mentoring Program
The Staff Mentoring Program is open to all staff who are interested in receiving mentorship from a more experienced colleague. Mentees will work with a mentor who is based in a different unit within SA+P. Mentoring may include career guidance, advice on navigating MIT, and insights into managing interpersonal conflict. If you are interested in participating, please contact Kiley Clapper at kclapper@mit.edu.
SA+P Career Corridors Series
Offered on occasion during the year
A lunch-time series that offers information on some of the big picture aspects of SA+P and the Institute, and insights about how to build a satisfying career at MIT.
For All Staff
Staff Special Interest Groups (SSIGs)
Staff are invited to form SSIGs based on a common activity, purpose, background, or interest. This is an opportunity to share a professional or personal interest with colleagues across the School. The School will provide funds to meet once per month over lunch or before/after work. Regardless of the topic, groups will be open and advertised to all staff in SA+P. If you’d like to start an SSIG, fill out the proposal form and Kiley Clapper will follow up with you.
Current SSIGs
SA+P Moms – Are you a mom that is looking for a network in SA+P? Do you wish there was a group that offered community, discussion, and, most importantly, food? Then this group is for you! SA+P Moms gathers monthly for lunch and discussion on topics important to working moms. We aim to create a supportive community of moms that can uplift one another and be a resource for questions and reflection about the joys and difficulties that parenthood involves.
