GA3 History

In the Spring of 2003, the Aero-Astro Department began a search for a new Department Head.  The Search Committee sought input regarding the Department and specific candidates from the graduate students.  Each lab conducted a discussion and culled opinions amongst its students.  When the representatives from each lab convened to draft a summary of points to the Search Committee, everyone realized that many common themes and issues resonated throughout the Department.  These issues and the crisis over rising student health care costs highlighted the need for a cohesive body to advocate graduate student interests in the Department. 

The Graduate Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics (GA3) formed during the past summer out of the laboratory structure used for the Department Head search.  The GA3 was created with the goals of promoting student well-being, both academically and for the quality of life, establishing a formal student-Department relationship, fostering a sense of community within the Department and to increase Department presence and student involvement throughout MIT.
