Letter from the Chancellor

From the Chancellor
Welcome, MIT students! As Chancellor, I’m responsible for “all things students”–graduate and undergraduate education and student life, student services, and student support. It’s my job to partner with you to make sure you get the most out of your MIT experience.

Use this site to learn about some of the initiatives I’m working on and how you can tell me your ideas, concerns, and vision for MIT education and student life. Engage with me here, set up a meeting, or join me at a campus event so that together we can strengthen student life and learning.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Barnhart
