MISSION

We, the undergraduate students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in order to improve the quality of our education, to provide ourselves with services which would otherwise not be provided, to express our views and represent ourselves before other groups whose decisions affect us, and to fairly and accountably allocate resources which have been granted to us as a whole, do create a central body unto which legislative, executive, judicial, and representative powers are conferred.

It's a simple mission, but it takes over 150 student volunteers to make it happen. Our work spans representing students and advocating for their interests at the Institute as well as leveraging our financial resources and influence to sponsor a variety of programs, projects, and events for students.

The MIT Undergraduate Association was founded in 1893, and now continues a 120+ year tradition of supporting students and improving their experience at MIT. We partner with the administration on a number of initiatives, and there are signs of the UA's impact all around you. Here's a breakdown of the areas in which we work:
