Other Resources

Association of Student Activities

The Association of Student Activities (ASA) is a joint committee of both the Undergraduate Association (UA) and the Graduate Student Council (GSC). The ASA Executive Board advocates on behalf of student groups to gain resources for student groups' benefit, allocates resources among student groups, and arbitrates among student groups and any other involved parties. In general, the ASA oversees student group activity and is the governing body of students groups on the MIT campus.

Dormitory Council

The Dormitory Council (DormCon) is a confederacy of undergraduate dormitories that coordinates programs and policies that effect and benefit the entire dormitory system. As a part of student government, DormCon also advocates for and represents the interests of dorm residents. Meetings occur every two weeks and involve representatives (ordinarily the presidents) of the dorms.

Finance Board (UA)

The UA Finance Board is charged by the UA to make budget recommendations for the student group funding that the UA receives. The Finance Board's job is to review the budget requests from student groups and recommend the allocation of funds; throughout the semester, Finance Board members help student groups with the funding process from application to reimbursement.

Graduate Student Council

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) exists to enhance the overall graduate experience at MIT by promoting the general welfare and concerns of the graduate student body, creating new programs and initiatives to provide opportunities for growth and interaction, and communicating with the MIT Faculty and Administration on behalf of graduate students. These goals are accomplished through a structure of elected representatives, standing committees and officers.

Interfraternity Council

The purpose of the Interfraternity Council is to assist in providing a total educational experience for the fraternity community by emphasizing and acting as a resource to support community participation and responsibility. One of the IFC's main goals is to promote interfraternal relations and we do this by creating programming such Greek Week in the spring and the President-Faculty Dinner in the fall.

Living Group Council

The MIT Living Group Council is the organization which represents the six Independent Living Groups (ILGs) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Panhellenic Association

Panhel represents the six national sororities on MIT's campus.
