MIT and Vanderbilt are no longer participating in the pilot:
A statement provided by MIT spokesperson Kimberly Allen confirmed that MIT will no longer be a Schoolhouse Dialogues university partner, and that undergraduate applications for the 2025-2026 cycle will not include the Dialogues portfolio as an optional supplement.
In May, we initiated a pilot project with Schoolhouse Dialogues, a third-party organization, to explore its potential to complement Vanderbilt’s existing programming to foster meaningful dialogue, respectful disagreement, and intellectual curiosity. After careful consideration and hearing some concerns, we have decided to end this pilot project at this time.
