SDM Student Leadership Committee

home > Student Experience > Student Resources > SDM Student Leadership Committee

The Student Leadership Council (SLC) is an essential part of the academic and social fabric of the MIT SDM community. SLC members volunteer their time to pursue the committee’s goals. These include forging lasting friendships within the cohort, enriching the educational and social experience at SDM, giving back to the broader community, and serving as peer leaders.

The committee organizes bi-monthly social gatherings to unite the SDM community. The SLC also serves as the voice of the student body, representing their opinions and concerns to SDM faculty and staff. It works to establish and maintain connections with other programs across MIT, such as Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) and ongoing events like the MIT Energy Conference. Several SLC members serve as part of the Sloan Senate and represent the SDM community to the Sloan student governance system.

SLC is also responsible for several student-led SDM events that range from a winter ski trip to a spring formal to community service “giving back” days. Being a part of the committee offers many opportunities, such as valuable networking, honing peer leadership skills, and practical experience in financial management and negotiation. The SLC operates with a high degree of autonomy and manages its own budget, empowering members to create positive change in their SDM community.
