MIT has a number of committees, known collectively as Institute 
Committees, that determine MIT's administrative policies on a number of 
topics.  They are a relatively small time commitment, but their impact 
is large.  Every year, the GSC nominates grad students to sit on these 
committees; in order to be nominated, students must apply through the 
GSC.

The open positions for Institute Committees have now been finalized and 
can be viewed at http://gsc.mit.edu/index.php/committees/nom/144.  
Descriptions of the committees, the procedures for applying, and the 
application form can be found there also.  The application deadline is 
June 5th, 2009.

What:     Dining Announcements

Most operations in the Lobdell Food Court (W20, second floor) will be
closed Commencement Weekend, as this space is a commencement staging
area. Subway, however, will remain open. Subway serves breakfast,
lunch and dinner and is open from 8:00 am - 11:00 pm.

The MIT Produce Market (the fruit and vegetable stand that operates on
campus on Tuesdays) will remain open through the Summer. It will
operate as it did during the academic year; Tuesdays, Noon - 6 pm in
the East Campus Courtyard near Walker Memorial (50).

If you have questions or comments please contact the Campus Dining
office at x3-4875 or foodstuff at mit.edu.
