Hi everyone,

We hope the end of the semester is treating you well! Please enjoy our GSC
DEI Newsletter!

1. Open Positions within Different Committees

If you are interested in making an impact on MIT’s campus you should
consider applying to join one of the committees detailed below. Email GSC
VP (gsc-vp at mit.edu) to get involved.


1. Working group to "evaluate security at large campus events for students"
- 1 rep needed

The working group will have five to six meetings and will make
recommendations to Chancellor Nobles and Dean Nelson early in the spring
semester. The working group will review the working group charge,
deliverables, and timeline.


2. Campus Activities Complex Advisory Board - 1 rep needed

The Campus Activities Complex Advisory Board gives recommendations and
advice to the Director of the Campus Activities Complex.  The Board
provides feedback on policy and program development as well as suggestions
for new and improved services and amenities that the CAC could provide for
the community.  They will meet occasionally as needed.


3. Ad Hoc Committee on Graduate Professional Development - 2-3 reps needed

The Ad Hoc Committee on Graduate Student Professional and Personal
Development will be charged with developing a set of graduate professional
and personal development requirements that all graduate students must
fulfill, constituting opportunities beyond the technical training and the
degree requirements of their disciplines.

We wanted to highlight this recent MIT News article
