[Gsc-hca-family] [Gsc-hca-all] Cost of Living: First Meeting Friday 5PM 50-220

[Nathaniel Schafheimer]

Hey all,

One of HCA's most important functions is coming up. We need to present our recommendation for next year's graduate stipend increases early next semester, and to formulate that we'll need to update our cost of living data with current CPI data, analyze this, and construct a presentation explaining our choice to be presented to Academic Council.

This is one of the most important things the GSC does.  In collaboration with ODGE, we as students help determine what is a reasonable increase in compensation for ALL of MIT's graduate population, and back it up with student collected data.  This is one of the most fantastic examples I know of student engagement and collaboration with administrators producing results that are better than if students took no part.

So get excited, and come join us for a first meeting tomorrow evening.  Free food will be had, as always.  RSVP here if you can, so we can gauge food.

See you there,
Nathaniel and Randi
HCA Co-Chairs
