Officers
DormCon advocates for the interests and needs of all dorm residents. As a group, DormCon exec meets once a week on Thursday nights. While chairs are responsible for specific areas of focus, all members of DormCon exec are involved in the discussions we have about student life issues and policies, and give input on the policies we advocate for.
Positions
President & Vice President
The DormCon President & Vice President lead DormCon and represent DormCon to other groups and organizations. While the DormCon President may take on slightly more responsibility, the President and Vice President generally act as equal partners. They meet regularly with administrators such as the Dean of Student Life and the Chancellor to discuss issues related to all aspects of residential life and focus on larger, long-term projects not specific to any chair. Within DormCon, they set the agenda for meetings with exec and the presidents, and provide guidance to other members of DormCon.
Treasurer
The Treasurer is responsible for all of the financial transactions of DormCon. They oversee the receipt and payment of the money of DormCon, ensure timely reimbursement to anyone who has spent money on the authorization of DormCon, and monitor all of DormCon's financial account activity. The Treasurer also keeps DormCon's permanent financial records and submits regular written reports about the state of DormCon's finances. They create a budget to be approved by DormCon in accordance with the Dormitory Council Budgeting Guidelines. The Treasurer also keeps copies of all reports of a financial nature presented to DormCon.
Secretary
The DormCon Secretary schedules meetings, sends out reminders, and takes minutes for DormCon meetings. They also lead publicity efforts through the DormCon social media pages (Instagram and Twitter). Because this position requires taking meeting minutes, it is necessary that they are able to attend meetings during the regular time of Thursday evenings.
CPW/REX Chairs
The DormCon CPW/REX chairs oversee all of the dormitories' events during two of the best times of the year. They work closely with Admissions in creating the CPW booklet and communicate with dorm CPW chairs to ensure a great CPW. They are also responsible for coordinating REX (Residential EXploration) and publishing the REX booklet by working with all of the dorms. This is a great opportunity to have a say in the way that MIT welcomes first-years!
Housing Chairs
The DormCon Housing Chair is responsible for all things housing and is the interface between DormCon, Housing, and ResLife. They advocate for students on long term initiatives, help housing handle issues that come up, advise on housing timelines and residential life initiatives, review communications housing sends out, and more!
JudComm Chairs
JudComm interprets the constitution, leads efforts to amend the constitution, and runs elections. They hold DormCon accountable to the constitution and are consulted whenever we consider modifying the constitution. JudComm may also take on additional responsibilities not specific to any other position.
Underclassmen Representatives
The DormCon Underclassmen Representatives serve as ambassadors paying special attention to the interests of first and second years living in dorms. In addition, the role is flexible to allow the representatives to participate in various projects and initiatives as they feel the need. Being an underclassmen rep is a great way to get involved with DormCon in a broader capacity and bring your perspective to a wide variety of issues! It is also a great way to get started in dorm student government and start gaining experience.
Dining Chairs
The DormCon Dining Chairs are DormCon's main advocates on food and dining-related issues. They represent the interests of both dining and cook-for-yourself dorms in discussions related to house & retail dining. Recent concerns include quality, flexibility, & affordability of the meal plans, food insecurity, and sustainability on campus.
i3 Chair
The DormCon i3 chair is the student point person for making the i3 project happen! The i3 (Interactive Introduction to the Institute) serves to introduce the incoming first-years to the various wonderful dorms and dorm cultures at MIT. To showcase this, each dorm creates an i3 video and/or house tour which is ultimately posted in the Guide to Residences. The i3 Chair helps coordinate the process of creating and distributing the i3s by coordinating between administrators and the dorm i3 chairs.
Tech Chair
The DormCon Tech Chair is responsible for all things regarding student computing, with a specific slant towards covering dorm-related issues. Generally, this means:
- Interfacing w/ IS&T and individual dorms about student computing
- Helping maintain the DormCon website (which is made of React and Markdown)
- Uploading GBM minutes for public view
- Running the digital components of REX
- Taking on other projects where other DormCon chairs need assistance, especially from a technical standpoint
The DormCon Tech Chair is one of the more flexible roles on DormCon. They're also welcome to just update the website (which is all nice and brand new now!), but they're also expected to be the nerd in the room when tech stuff is needed for dorm-related projects. In the past, this has included a decent amount of work for REX.
