The BE Undergraduate Board (BEUB) is a group of student-elected undergraduate BE students who are dedicated to enhancing the Course 20 experience. We organize monthly social events to connect students with faculty and each other, host annual professional development career fairs and lecture series, plan the fall Course 20 freshman orientation program, run the Sophomore Orientation brunch, and more!
Make sure to follow our instagram @mit_beub for upcoming events!
We’re always brainstorming how to better serve our fellow students! Feel free to contact BEUB at any time by emailing beub-exec@mit.edu with any questions or feedback. You can also leave feedback by filling out our eternal survey.
