Dear Undergraduates:

Last year, the Undergraduate Association (UA) and the Graduate Student
Council (GSC) formed a joint advisory committee, the Presidential
Transition Advisory Cabinet (PTAC), to serve and advise MIT President
Rafael Reif during the period of his transition. Given the success of PTAC,
President Reif has commissioned the formation of the Presidential Advisory
Cabinet (PAC) as a sustaining student advisory body. The body consists of
four undergraduate students and four graduate students (including the
Presidents of the Graduate Student Council and the Undergraduate
Association who serve as ex-officio members). The cabinet acts in a purely
advisory capacity on various issues identified by the President concerning
the student body.

Prospective members of this body will be nominated jointly by the UA’s and
GSC’s nomination boards and will be confirmed directly by President Reif.
Membership to this committee will be limited and participants will be
expected to speak knowledgeably on a vast collection of topics relating to
MIT policy.  The application and interview process seeks to identify the
most informed, experienced, and diverse membership. Service on PAC requires
an exceptional sense of personal responsibility and commitment to the
student body and the Institute-at-large. Members serve one-year terms
starting September 1st.

The UA is now accepting applications to the Presidential Advisory Cabinet
until June 22nd (11:59pm). Applications will then be screened by the UA
Nominations Committee and a small list of interviews will be conducted the
following week (June 24th to June 28th).

The application to join the PAC can be found
here<https://ua.mit.edu/join/join-institute-committee/>
.

The PTAC website can be found
here<http://web.mit.edu/committees/ptac/reports.html> and
the report for the 2012-2013 term can be found
here<http://web.mit.edu/committees/ptac/index.html>
.

The Presidential Advisory Cabinet represents an excellent opportunity for
our student community to be involved with Institute policies and connect
with President Reif.

Thank you for your time,

Shruti Sharma

Chief Of Staff, UA
