The MIT Innovation Club seeks to understand innovation as a
science and practice of generating and implementing new ideas.
With the launch of our new website and member directory,
we're actively building a community that will create a richer
experience for our members and affiliates, now and in the
future. We are reaching out across the MIT campus to foster

of innovation in the MIT community. We hope you'll join us in
this pursuit and add yourself to our member directory.

As of August 5, the GSC resolution on the Diversity Task Force
passed unanimously with a white ballot at the August General Council.
This reflects the Graduate Student Council's determination and desire
to take a major role to harness the value of diversity in the MIT community.
Now, the GSC needs your help. We are in the process of finding diversity
task force members, and leadership for the task force. We welcome
participation to this very important initiative.
We also need to locate and appoint chairs to lead this effort.
These chairs will play very important roles and will work closely
with the executive committee and myself.
Please send an email to gsc-officers at mit.edu
if you are interested to be a member and please indicate
if you would be willing to take on the chair position.
