In about one month, we will be welcoming 2027s for REX (Residence Exploration), a four day experience for first years to find their future home on campus. MIT DormCon is an elected student body that represents dorm residents and puts on awesome things like REX! #mit2027 #rex2023

There's also a number of projects we'll continue to work on this upcoming year. This includes more discussion about paying RACs for the work that they do, new meal plans this Fall, and the mural pilot program to let students paint murals in dorms where they can't currently. 7/

As always, our plans may change as we hear more from other students about what they want to see us work on. But DormCon will always be committed to supporting dorms and advocating for the needs of dorm residents. 8/8

exec consensus tonight was that EC and Baker are strong contenders for winning the dorm war. that said, BC is still a threat, Raúl may be a force to be reckoned with, and it's never too late for a Bexley comeback

in honor of dormcon elections next week (info on our website!) here's one of my favorite dormcon election stories from the tech #bongoforpresident
screenshot of part of an article from the tech that reads, "The Dormitory Council has elected Baker House resident Jeffrey C Roberts '02 as its new president by a wide margin over Bongo the gerbil, a resident of Bexley House. Matthew S Cain '02, a resident of Random Hall, will be Dormcon's next vice-president."
