Temporary

Experienced

The Residential Scholars program is a live-in residential experience for visiting and permanently appointed MIT faculty members who are eager to share with the MIT student community their wealth of life experiences. The live-in residential scholars’ program is based in Simmons Hall, iHouse (New House), Maseeh Hall, and New Vassar.

The purpose of this program is to increase the opportunity for residential students to meet and interact with individuals who are engaged in exciting academic or other endeavors, while giving visitors and interested faculty the opportunity to interact with and better understand MIT undergraduates – their passions, their intelligence, and their commitment to creating a better future.
