Committee on Athletics

The Athletics Committee works as a liason between the UA, DAPER, the various athletic supervising bodies, and the students. Our main goals are to (a) spread awareness of varsity and club athletics and increase student athlete support around the MIT community; (b) improve the quality of the student athlete experience from varsity to recreational athletes; and (c) work to help student athletes' opinions be heard within the UA, DAPER, and the MIT administration.

To spread awareness, we have hosted Athletics Weekends as well as promotional events for individual sports with the help of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).

Following up on our May 2010 report on the State of Athletics, we will take some of the concrete student suggestions and pursue these improvements with DAPER, Facilities, and the administration. In particular, we will partner with the Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), the Club Sports Council (CSC), the Graduate Student Council (GSC) and the Intramural sports council to identify the highest priority areas for improvement.
