Executive Committee
The Executive Committee (EC) is composed of 12 undergraduate Hoyas who direct the SIPS Fund. From project evaluation to managing the endowment fund to hosting events, the EC serves as the public face of SIPS. The Executive Committee meets weekly and runs through various agenda items including potential partnerships, upcoming Board meetings, and applicants in the project pipeline.
The EC consists of an Executive Director, Managing Director, Internal Operations Director, Project Managers, and Finance, Outreach, and Impact Analysis Teams. Together, the EC ensures that SIPS is providing the resources necessary for students to engage in socially innovative projects or public service opportunities, whether here in the U.S. or abroad.
