<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Undergraduates,</span></div>
<br>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hi! We’re Dante (Course 15 senior) and Alyssa (21E junior), and we’re excited to announce the launch of the Undergraduate Association’s
new Academic Advisory Council. As the leaders of the AAC, we are reaching out to you to request your participation.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our goal for the Academic Advisory Council is to represent every undergraduate department in student government. The council
is a forum where academic or department-specific concerns can be voiced and addressed by the UA. We discuss issues that affect a variety of aspects in undergraduate academic life, including academic advising and preparing for and choosing careers after MIT.
Right now we are working on an Institute-wide initiative to revitalize the undergraduate advising experience. Other topics we could address include improving the freshman year experience; conducting an undergraduate survey on departmental satisfaction; and
considering how GIRs prepare students for various departments. </span></div>
<br>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your perspective on the MIT experience is unique, and we want to hear it. Joining the AAC is a great way to have your opinions
heard and improve the undergraduate academic experience. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can help the UA improve the undergraduate academic experience by joining the Academic Advisory Council. If you’d like to
join, please fill out </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D1Zly1dB0friEfJkmMVMChvPst3OiJNQZiQwpGXbdMs/viewform?usp=send_form" style="text-decoration:none"><span style="text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">this
form</span></a><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, and don’t hesitate to
</span><a href="mailto:ua-aac-chairs@mit.edu" style="text-decoration:none"><span style="text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">reach out to us</span></a><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> if you
have any questions in the interim. Our next meeting will be </span><span style="font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thursday, February 11th at 7pm</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in the
</span><span style="font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">main UA office</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, and we’d love to see you there!</span></div>

department in the AAC. </span></div>
<br>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We can’t wait to hear about your experiences at MIT and your ideas on how to improve undergraduate life. We’re sure you all have
a lot to contribute, and we look forward to working with you!</span></div>
