[Gsc-hca-family] Open GSC-HCA Positions

[Gerald Dalley]

The following positions in the Graduate Student Council's Housing and
Community Affairs Committee are open:

   1. HCA Co-Chair: directs and organizes the activities of the HCA.  The
   HCA chairs are instrumental in informing the MIT administration of graduate
   student needs, coordinating the efforts of the dorms and off-campus
   students, and making recommendations for on-campus rents, health insurance,
   and stipends.  One of two co-chair positions for 2007-2008 is open.  Must
   be an MIT graduate student.
   2. HCA Family Subcommittee Chair: Focuses on issues related to
   students with partners, spouses, children, and/or other dependents.  A
   sampling of recent efforts includes: providing mechanisms for better
   childcare opportunities, partial health insurance subsidies for non-MIT
   family members, eliminating dorm transfer fees when having a child requires
   moving to a larger apartment, and coordination with Spouse & Partners.  May
   be a non-student spouse/partner.  May be an HCA Co-Chair.
   3. At-Large GSC Representative for Families: While technically not an
   HCA position, the Representative is a member of the GSC legislative body and
   interfaces with the HCA on family issues.  An active representative is
   provided with funds for advocacy and/or events.  Must be an MIT
   graduate student.  May be the Subcommittee Chair.
