Open House/Candidates Meeting this Tuesday Night (Sept 5th) at 8:00pm
in W20-400!<br>
<br>
Fellow Undergraduates,
<br>
<br>
Welcome back upperclassmen and again welcome to the Class of 2010!
Hopefully you are unpacked, settled and ready to start the new term. I
would like to take this opportunity to invite you to consider becoming
more involved in student advocacy this term. In the next few weeks, the
Undergraduate Association (UA) will elect a Class of 2010 Council, a
new Senate to represent the student body and fill eight different
committees specializing on different issues of interest to undergrads.
Getting involved with any of these groups are a great way to help to
improve (or preserve) the student experience at MIT.
<br>
<br>
The UA is hosting an Open House/Candidates Meeting this Tuesday,
September 5th (at 8:00 PM in W20-400) to provide information about
running for Senate or joining a Committee. Particularly if you are
interested in running for a UA Senate position or 2010 Class Council
office, please attend. At this meeting, you will receive the petition
packet necessary to run. You will also learn more about the
requirements for each position, the election code and the campaign
rules.
