UA One

UA One is a new initiative we’re launching in honor of the UA’s 129th birthday, where we want to give all undergraduates the chance to submit a one-page proposal to improve student life at MIT! We’ve already created a guiding template, which you can find at ua.mit.edu/one<http://ua.mit.edu/one>, to make the process easier.

Any and all ideas are welcome, and you can work by yourself or with a group. Just email your one-pager to ua-one at mit.edu<mailto:ua-one at mit.edu> by March 1 and a panel of judges made up of UA Officers, Committee Chairs, and general members will get back to you shortly to let you know if your idea was selected to happen this semester.
