Free Food! Free Sunsets!

The following is the Orientation schedule for members of the Class of 2011 who are interested in ESG.

Applying to ESG:

In order to apply to ESG, you will need to do the following two things:

  1. Participate in a small informational 30-minute session at ESG (composed of 3-4 freshmen, one upperclassmen and one staff member). Sessions will be held from 2:30 to 4:30p.m. on Sunday 8/26, from 10:00 a.m. to Noon and 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday 8/27, and from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 8/28. Contact Graham Ramsay (ramsay@mit.edu) to sign up for an ESG information session during the week of orientation. You may also drop by the ESG lounge (24-612) on Sunday 8/26, Monday 8/27, or Tuesday 8/28 to sign up for an information session.
  2. Complete the ESG application form (available only from staff at your informational session) and return it to 24-612 by the application deadline (Wednesday August 29, 6:00PM).

The ESG staff will choose 45 first year students (from among the submitted applications) by pure lottery. In the event of oversubscription for those 45 slots, up to five additional first year students may be selected by staff as determined by discussion and review of the remaining applications.

To schedule an informational session, contact Graham Ramsay.
