Undergraduate Representation on MIT's Faculty Committees

[Mary Jane Porzenheim]

Dear Undergraduates,

Do you look beyond your own perspective and experience when giving feedback
on policy issues? Have you thought deeply about what can make MIT better,
and want to share your measured opinion? Do you have an interest in
understanding what makes a university effective for undergraduates?

Applications <https://forms.gle/X5eXoJUPbKYnTBg3A> for undergrad spots on
MIT’s Institute Committees are now open!

What are these committees? If MIT were the US, then the faculty would be
Congress, and the Institute Committees would be congressional subcommittees.
They are charged with making decisions about aspects of the MIT experience
ranging from facilities and buildings to student life and educational
policy. As a student representative, you would have the opportunity to be a
full, voting member of one of these committees.

What responsibility would serving on a committee entail? While it varies
between committees, most committees meet 1-2 hours every two weeks, some
meeting more or less frequently.

Who do we want on these committees? Many different people. From athletes to
activists, from policy wonks to IS&T geeks, these committees need a wide
range of student talent to fill them, and *everyone should look through the
application.* Committee descriptions are included in the application.

Apply here <https://forms.gle/X5eXoJUPbKYnTBg3A> by April 22.

Best,

MJ
