Wednesday, April 21, 7:30 pm, room 34-101 (coincides with
the lesson and dance, unfortunately), ASA General Body
Meeting and Elections. The ASA is the student governance of
ALL the student groups on campus. I have previously served
on the ASA Executive Board, and found it a grueling but
highly rewarding experience: you get to work with other
student group leaders who are passionate about their group
and what they do. If you are interested, I encourage you to
run for a position on the Board (MIT students only). For
more information:
