House Dining Advisory Group (HDAG)

In fall 2010, dining became a big issue at MIT. I wrote a series of articles about dining.

As HDAG was wining down, Baker president Andy Wu appointed my to HDAG in his place. I got thrown out of the last HDAG meeting as the administrators debated if they should let me in.

I was the official Baker representative for the RFP committee during sophomore year. I helped to mark up the RFP and visit other school's dining halls, including a 1 day whirlwind trip to Chicago.
