3. New Student Member at Large (SMAL) and UA Representative

1. Opportunity for ASA Early Returns - respond by THIS Monday, June 11th

If you are an undergraduate student who is eligible to register for
MIT in the fall, and who will be living in an undergraduate dorm
during Fall 2012, you are eligible to apply for an early return. Early
returns are given to a limited number of students who will be present
and representing their groups during orientation at the Activities
Midway, as well as participating in other student group rush events.
Those students who receive an early return will need to check in with
the ASA at the Activities Midway; failure to do so will result in a
fine. Currently, ASA early returns are projected to be able to move
into their dorms on August 29, 2012.

Due to a limited number of early returns, we would encourage groups to
obtain assistance at the midway by student members who already have an
early return through other programs, or live off-campus. Note that
students with summer housing are entitled to continuous housing during
this period without an early return.

This year, there are two parts to the application process for early
returns, both of which can be found here:
<https://asa.scripts.mit.edu:444/applications/returns/>. The student
asking for an early return must fill out the "Student Application"
form, and an executive member of the group must fill out the
"Sponsoring Group Application". The two forms must be filled out by
distinct individuals. Again, both forms are due by 11:59pm on Monday,
June 11.

Please feel free to contact asa-exec at mit.edu if you have any questions.

2. Midway Date: Friday, August 31

The Fall Activities Midway will be held on the afternoon of Friday,
August 31. More information and a request form will be emailed out in
mid-July.

3. New Student Member at Large (SMAL) and UA Representative

Congratulations to the new SMAL Delian Asparouhov and the new UA
Representative Jacobi Vaughn. As an appointment to an elected
position, the SMAL appointment will last only until the fall General
Body Meeting; the UA Representative appointment will last until next
spring.

Please feel free to email asa-exec at mit.edu with any requests,
questions, or other inquiries.
