Sunday, September 4th, 8pm in W20-491


The MIT Undergraduate Association is your student government, and our goal is to improve student life at MIT.

It's a simple mission, but it takes over 150 undergraduates to make it happen. Our work spans representing students and advocating for their interests at the Institute as well as leveraging our resources and influence to sponsor a variety of programs, projects, and events for students. This includes promoting leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, and educational initiatives.

We partner with the administration on a number of initiatives, and there are signs of the UA's impact all around you.

Here's a breakdown of the areas on which we work:

Policy

We work to solve the toughest campus issues by collecting student opinion and harnessing students' problem-solving skills in creating innovative solutions. Your advocates share this insight with Institute leaders to ensure informed decision-making. We focus on ongoing challenges that affect the entire student population, from athletics to education and sustainability, along with pressing issues such as innovation and campus planning. The UA has a new Innovation Committee, please contact the chair, William Jack <wjack at mit.edu<mailto:wjack at mit.edu>> for more information.

Projects & Programs

There are a great deal of student needs unmet by the administration at the Institute. When we find a simple solution to these issues, we can leverage our financial resources and partnerships to implement ongoing programs or one-off projects to address the issue at hand.
