MIT has a number of committees, known collectively as Institute  
Committees, that determine MIT's administrative policies on a number  
of important 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 has been extended to Thursday, June 10.
