<\/div><\/div>

Professor Ghassemi is on the Senior Advisory Council of Women in Machine Learning (WiML), and organized its flagship workshop at NIPS during December 2014. She has also organized and MIT\u2019s first\u00a0Hacking Discrimination event<\/a>, and was awarded MIT\u2019s 2018 Seth J. Teller Award for Excellence, Inclusion and Diversity.<\/p>\n

She served on MIT\u2019s Presidential Committee on Foreign Scholarships from 2015-2018, working with MIT students to create competitive applications for distinguished international scholarships. In 2015, she also worked as a graduate student member of MIT\u2019s CJAC (Corporation Joint Advisory Committee on Institute-wide Affairs), a committee to which the Corporation can turn for consideration and advice on special Institute-wide issues.<\/p>\n

From 2013-2014, she was a student representative on MIT\u2019s Women\u2019s Advisory Group Presidential Committee, and additionally was elected as a Graduate Student Council (GSC) Housing Community Activities Co-Chair. As co-chair, she worked with subcommittee leads to create a third month of maternity benefits for EECS graduate women, create a\u00a0$1M+ fundraising target for a needs-based grant administered to graduate families at MIT, successfully negotiated a 4% stipend increase for MIT graduate students for the 2014 fiscal year (approved by MIT\u2019s Academic Council), and worked with HCA\u2019s Transportation Subcommittee to expand new transportation options for the 2\/3 of graduate students that live off campus. During 2012-2013, she was one of MIT\u2019s GSC Housing Community Activities Family Subcommittee Leads, and campaigned to have back-up childcare options extended to all graduate students at MIT. This led the GSC to commit $30,000 to a pilot for the program, which was matched by the administration. The program is now fully funded by MIT, and considered a success.<\/p>\n<\/div>
