MIX & Mingle Fly-In
Co-sponsored by the Olin College Office of Admission & Financial Aid and The MIX (Multicultural Innovators eXperience)
Each fall, Olin College offers prospective students the opportunity to attend a Fly-In visit to Olin. We invite counselors to nominate high school seniors with strong potential for Olin's collaborative, project-based engineering curriculum. For students who would not otherwise have the financial resources to visit our campus, we will be covering all costs for their visit.
The MIX & Mingle Fly-In program is limited to high school seniors and students who for other reasons are planning to enter college in Fall 2027. Unfortunately at this time we are only able to accommodate nominations for US citizens and permanent residents who are currently residing in the contiguous United States.
The MIX & Mingle Fly-In program will be held in-person from November 8-9 at Olin's campus in Needham, MA. The form to nominate a student for this program can be found here; the deadline for nomination is Monday, September 14th. We do not accept self-nominations from students.
Please contact Jenna Green with any questions.
At Olin, every student develops a solid foundation through courses in software, electronics, and mechanical systems engineering. Oliners take courses in these subjects and work in project teams with students from other disciplines.
