Student Advisory Council

The Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) Student Advisory Council brings together student voices to shape the future of design education at MIT. The council is comprised of a cross-section of both undergraduate and graduate students researching and interweaving design with other disciplines — engineering, chemistry, urban studies, marine science, architecture — in their studies at MIT. Through this collaborative group, MAD ensures its direction is guided by those it serves most directly: its students.
