In my role, I work with students have allegedly violated one of MIT’s policies. The goal through this work is to return students to good standing within the Institute. In addition, I take time to check in on them and how their time at MIT is going, to ensure that they have the support they need to effectively navigate their time at MIT. Outside of my case load, I assist the OSCCS team with project work throughout the year. Personal favorites have been benchmarking other institution’s policies, creating the content for an online module focused on academic integrity, and preparing case briefs for the members of the Committee on Discipline.

Through this role, I assist high school students in rural Pennsylvania with navigating both the college and career processes, and the variety of challenges that they bring. Most of my time is spent forming connections with students via one-on-one meetings and giving them the information and support that they need to succeed. I also utilize classroom presentations and mass communication methods to build my presence within the school and share information as needed. I implemented and launched a student-organization called College Ambassadors, a club for students interested in building the college-going culture at the high school.
