Article In Progress
I plan on adding more to this page at some point in time.
I have been a member of a succession of dining committees at MIT, as a representative of Baker House.
Contents |
House Dining Advisory Group (HDAG)
In fall 2010, dining became a big issue at MIT. I wrote a series of articles about dining.
- Breakfast: Simply Unaffordable - Opinion 10/14/2010
- A Radical Idea for MIT Dining - Proposal 10/16/2010
- Current Position on Dining 11/19/2010 - Opinion
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.
House Dining RFP Committee
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.
