Committee Founder and President Rebecca Lavinson '13 proposed the formation of a midyear committee in an email to the Student Union late last semester and now plans to select six midyears for the group, with at least one from each class year, after interviewing candidates next week. As of Thursday night, she reported that she had received 15 applicants, including many sophomores, some first-years and juniors, and no seniors. As a midyear herself, having been accepted for the spring 2010 semester, Lavinson is familiar with the program and the challenges facing the midyear community.
