UA 54 Leadership Applications Now Live

Sat Apr 23 21:50:05 EDT 2022

Dear Undergraduates,

We wanted to let everyone know that applications for the UA Officer Team<https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2lCoGSlKHlLY9IG>, Institute Committee Representatives<https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_82C3ZlkMH9X6Hqe>, Election Commission<https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6VAfQvAIbgl490i>, and Judicial Review Board<https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8euD6RqFU7eEOFM> have been extended to Friday, April 29th. We hope this extension allows more of our undergraduate community to participate in these vital governmental bodies.

Please consider applying to an Institute Committee! Being an institute committee representative is an opportunity to represent the student body in key decisions from financial aid, to influencing campus planning, to rethinking the HASS requirement. It is critical that these representatives communicate the needs of our student body. It is also an opportunity to directly interact and work with senior leadership, faculty, and important members of the MIT Community. Read through the committees you can apply to here: http://ua.mit.edu/institutecomms.

If you need an extension, reach out to us at davidandshruti at mit.edu<mailto:davidandshruti at mit.edu>. Please feel free to email us with any questions as well!

Sincerely,

David & Shruti

Incoming UA President and Vice President

Dear Undergraduates,

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! We’re incredibly grateful to have been elected as your next UA President and Vice President and can’t wait for the academic year ahead.

As we continue mapping the future of student advocacy, we’re looking forward to building up the UA’s leadership team. We’re opening applications for the UA Officer Team, Institute Committee Representatives, Election Commission & Judicial Review Board! The UA Officer Team application will be due Saturday, April 23rd and the rest of the applications will be due on Wednesday, April 27th. Interviews will take place starting on April 23rd through May 1st.

We are looking for leaders that are deeply passionate about their communities, not afraid to step outside of their comfort zone, and push boundaries to drive meaningful change.

UA Officer Team (Due 4/23)

About: The UA Officer Team works closely with administration, student communities, and UA committees supporting all areas of student life. We’re looking for individuals that not only possess the skills required to take on the responsibilities in the UA Constitution<http://web.mit.edu/ua/governing-docs/constitution.pdf> but the passion for advocating on behalf of the student body. We are currently looking for a Chief of Staff, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Operations Officer and Assistant Officer on Internal Affairs but we strongly encourage you to create a new officer position if you believe that there is a position that would benefit the student body.

Work Examples: Officer Team members will contribute to a wide variety of UA-run initiatives and policies, such as UA Music Match<https://www.instagram.com/p/CXFIbWZO385/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link>, the Carlson Lecture Response Group and The Ukraine Nightmarket Fundraiser<https://www.facebook.com/events/666629031230231/?ref=newsfeed>.

Details: Read more about UA Officers<http://ua.mit.edu/officers>.

Institute Committee Representatives (Due 4/27)

About: MIT’s governance structure is supported by a strong system of committees, spanning the gamut of topics impacting undergraduates. Undergraduate representatives serve as the student voice on these committees and actively shape MIT’s policies and practices in the short- and long-term. Students on Institute Committees work on some of the biggest issues at the Institute and have equal voting power to the administrators, faculty and staff who also serve on them.

Work Examples: Institute Committee representatives have been involved in over the past few years include the Flex PNR grading experiment<https://registrar.mit.edu/classes-grades-evaluations/grades/grading-policies/flexible-pnr-grading-option>, removing the SAT Subject Test Requirement<https://thetech.com/2021/04/15/2021-22-sat-act-suspended#:~:text=MIT%20suspended%20its%20SAT%20subject,College%20Board%20in%20January%202021.> and the DEI Strategic Action Plan. <https://deiactionplan.mit.edu/>
