Submitting Letters of Support for your Nomination

Supporting statements from colleagues, clients, students and other members of the community can strengthen a nomination significantly. Letters of support for a nomination are written by people other than the original nominator, from colleagues within the MIT community or people outside of it. All letters of support should be submitted via email to excellence@mit.edu.  Please include the name of the nominee in the subject line of the email and your letter of support in the body of the email. Letters of Supoport can be sent at any point up to the nomination deadline, even if the nomination has not yet been submitted. The committee will accept up to 2 statements of support for each nomination. Letters of support should be no more than (1) page long.
