*INSTITUTE COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVES*

The GSC appoints a number of individuals to serve as representatives on various
Institute Committees. These committees are a primary mechanism for determining
MIT's policies regarding an extremely wide array of topics ranging from
academics to student life to campus construction. The GSC's representatives to
these committees are a primary mechanism for voicing the concerns of graduate
students in Institute policy decisions. GSC Institute Committee reps are
responsible for reporting relevant information back to the general council.
