realtallk@MIT Student Ambassador Program
Lead a realtalk@MIT conversation project with your peers

Are you a committed MIT student with a focus on advancing dialogue work within your own campus community and beyond? Are you enthusiastic about being part of a leading edge effort to use technology and community dialogue to strengthen campus communities? Do you have a genuine interest in shared opportunities for collaboration, learning, and celebration across our campus and within your own student community? We’re seeking to recruit passionate, value-aligned MIT students to join the founding cohort of realtalk@MIT Student Ambassadors. This early group of student leaders will work to launch an inaugural realtalk@MIT student-organized conversation project together, learning through doing and providing feedback to the realtalk@MIT team along the way.

The Program Lead will, as an entrepreneurial program builder, lead the realtalk@MIT program team and its efforts to engage the MIT community in creating durable infrastructure, build capacity, and provide ongoing support for realtalk dialogue projects across the MIT community. This includes developing and implementing with the realtalk@MIT team a plan for community outreach and engagement; establishing and managing relationships with community stakeholders; overseeing the design and management of tech-enhanced dialogue initiatives across campus (activating co-design principles with collaborating stakeholders); and guiding the team’s work with CCC and MIT on the realtalk@MIT program’s impact assessment and reporting. In close collaboration with CCC’s Translational Research team, the Program Lead will identify opportunities for piloting new methods and approaches in dialogue, facilitation, and listening and introduce CCC’s prototypes to support the design and implementation of projects.
