-  Institute committees are not only a critical channel for involving graduate
   students in Institute operations, but also a great way to take an active role
   in learning about MIT and representing the graduate community. 
- Serving on an Institute Committee as a graduate student enables you
   to significantly impact important decisions made by the Institute.
- You will serve as a voting member of a committee which advises faculty
   and administration, and ultimately reports to President Susan Hockfield.
