*G-SPARC*

G-SPARC [GSC Strategic Planning About Residence Community] is a working
group of the GSC which will work in the next 3 months to:

A.  Develop a set of suggestions for community programming elements in the
next graduate residence.

B.  Craft a set of general principles the MIT Corporation should consider
as it develops a graduate student residence community over the next
several decades.

C.  Design survey questions for the upcoming Graduate Student Life Survey
(planned for fall 2006).

G-SPARC is looking to recruit a balanced number of single,
married/partner/family, on-campus, and off-campus students, as well as
students with experience in residence design and city government.

If you are interested in participating in this working group, please
submit the short application online by 11:59 pm, 12/4.  A series of
in-person conversations will be conducted with applicants during the week
of 12/5, and the group will hold its first meeting the week of 12/12.
