ARC Committee Chairs, 2008-2009
The ARC committee spearheads a number of initiatives and events aimed at improving academic life at MIT. The committee includes a number of project chairs, each of whom work with the committee chairs to organize a particular event or initiative, as well as a large number of volunteers. In addition to carrying out these projects, ARC is also responsible for pursuing academic and career-related advocacy issues for the GSC. In 2005, ARC was awarded the William L. Stewart Jr. Award for contributions to extracurricular activities and events during the preceding year.
A listing of ARC's current projects and advocacy items are listed below. If you would like to find out more, please feel free to contact the ARC committee chairs at gsc-arc[at]mit[dot]edu or attend the next committee meeting. Meeting minutes are archived on the GSC website.
