The Fall 2024 Senate Club Funding Application is now open! As a reminder, Senate's overall criteria for club eligibility to receive funding is as follows:
Officers of club have completed Student Life Officer Training
Transparency around club dues
Funding requests must meet following criteria in a per line-item basis:
<$25/person
No speaker fees
No swag, no treks, no retreats, no conferences, and no C-F(x)'s.
Operational expenses must be clearly laid out and essential to club function
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion would like to invite the student community to learn more about the Belonging Innovation and Impact Grant program (BI2G, or BIIG). The BI2G offers financial support for initiatives that strengthen the goals of MIT’s strategic plan related to belonging. To be eligible, MIT Sloan students and student organizations must:
submit an application detailing their proposed initiative/learning opportunity aimed at enhancing the sense of belonging at MIT Sloan/MIT;
execute and/or create the program, event, or learning experience;
provide a deliverable that shares the key learnings with the MIT Sloan community.
Learn more about the program here. If you have any questions, please contact sloandei@mit.edu.
Anti-Hazing Agreement Coming Soon
Every year, student groups are required to certify to the Institute that they are compliant with Massachusetts law and MIT policy regarding hazing.
Starting next Monday, September 16, one president or co-president from your group will need to acknowlege the agreement in SloanGroups before club leaders will have access to their group in the platform. The agreement will automatically pop-up when trying to enter SloanGroups.
Are you a space reserver looking to book spaces like Wong Auditorium, Kresge, or sports courts? It's important to note that these and all other Campus Activities Complex (CAC) and DAPER owned spaces are now booked using a new scheduling tool called Mazevo.
There's an upcoming training to guide users through making a request and viewing/editing existing requests. Training will be live on Zoom and you do not have to register.
If you have questions about specific spaces, email the team associated with your inquiry:
Campus Activities Complex spaces - cacscheduling@mit.edu
Department of Athletics, Recreation, and Physical Education spaces -daperscheduling@mit.edu
