What Do Representatives Do?

All representatives are voting members of the GSC General Council  
while bridging the communication between the GSC and the  
representative's constituency. Representatives are required to attend  
the GSC General Council Meeting, held on the first Wednesday of each  
month.

Of the many GSC Representatives, five are at-large representatives:  
three have been designated as representatives for Women, Minorities,  
and Graduate Students with Families; the other two are currently  
unallocated.

To Become a Representative

If there is a position you would like to apply for, you will also need  
to fill out an Application for Representative Nomination. This will  
require you to collect the signatures of 20% or 20 members (whichever  
is less) of your constituency.

Please email gwamit-exec at mit.edu if you are interested in filling the  
Women's Representative Position.
