As advocates and ambassadors for MIT, Educational Counselors (ECs) recruit, interview, and respond to the concerns of admissions candidates within communities across the country and abroad. Uniquely positioned to put a human face on the Institute, ECs encourage and assist students and their parents in discovering MIT's educational, social, and extracurricular opportunities. 

These alumni volunteers serve as a vital link between the institute and prospective students, coaching, connecting and encouraging the next generation of brilliant minds.
