Don't forget to apply to be a member --- the deadline is 11:59PM
Eastern, tomorrow night, Monday the 8th.
All you need to do is send ua-fprc-chairs@mit.edu an email, ideally
including a brief (a sentence or two) summary of what you bring to the
committee (eg, UA involvement or treasurer experience) and why you are
interested.
Senators should also copy Paul Baranay (ua-speaker@mit.edu) on any
request to join the committee.
