The position of the EUS VP Academic can roughly be summed up as having three major roles: oversight and assistance in the operation of student run academic activities, management of academic funds, and student representation to the Faculty. The first role denotes the job the VP Academic has in overseeing certain Faculty wide events such as TechFair and TechWeek, overseeing certain Faculty wide services such as the Engineering Peer Tutoring Service, and being a general point of contact for all things academics-related for any club, committee, or departmental society within the EUS. The second role speaks to the role of the VP Academic in ensuring that the primary academic funds managed by the EUS, namely the Engineering Undergraduate Support Fund and the Engineering Undergraduate Equipment Fund, function as per intended and are used effectively and responsibly across the Faculty. Lastly, the third role of the VP Academic is to sit on any and all academically related Faculty-wide committees and to act as the representative for all ~3200 undergraduate students enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering. =Letter from the VP Internal=I was born in Brooklyn, New York and have lived in New Jersey for the majority of my life. Since I have been at McGill, I have been very involved with education, both in a direct and indirect way. To this end, I have served as an Engineering Peer Tutoring Service (EPTS) tutor for two years, first as the U0 Math Tutor and then as the MATH 271 tutor, and have served as the VP Academic for the McGill Association of Mechanical Engineering (MAME) for two years as well. For my work as VP Academic, I was awarded the "Departmental VP of the Year" in the 2015-2016 year by the EUS Executive Committee, and the "VP of the Year" award in the 2016-2017 by the MAME Council. In addition to this, I have been involved in three different research labs at McGill, both within and outside the Faculty of Engineering. Ensuring that the education of engineering is provided in an effective and competent way, and fostering an environment where students are able to discover and explore their academic passions, are very important goals to which I aspire. University is a special and transformative time where I believe people discover themselves as people and students, and make important decisions about who they are and what they are capable of. My goal is to make sure that every student in our Faculty has as much freedom and knowledge as possible in order to make these important decisions for themselves. Duties=Duties=Article 14 of the EUS Constitution covers the duties ''According to Title II of the Vice-President Academic {{Hanging indent|text=14.1 [[VP AcademicConstitution|Constitution]]''<br>The Vice-President VP Academic]] shall:}}*{{Hanging indent|text=14.1.1 #Be responsible for all educational academic and curricular concerns of the EUS;}}*{{Hanging indent|text=14.1.2 Be the Chair of Engineering Student Academic Committee (E.S.A.C.)}}*{{Hanging indent|text=14.1.3 Be the Chair of the Engineering Equipment Fund Committee, (E.F.C.); }}*{{Hanging indent|text=14.1.4 Chair the Student Faculty Liaison Committee (S.F.L.C);}}*{{Hanging indent|text=14.1.5 #Represent the EUS at any academic committees of the Faculty of Engineering and the broader McGill communityCommunity; #Oversee the academic [[funds]] and}}support services of the EUS;*{{Hanging indent|text=14.1.6 Oversee Engineering Peer Tutoring Services (E.P.T.S)#Serve as the official spokesperson for the EUS in the absence of the [[President]] and [[VP External]].}}

Here is a non-exhaustive list of past experiences that could be valuable for this position (note: having held one of the three first is pretty much a must when running for VP Academic):* Departmental VP Academic* Engineering Senator* Departmental President* EUS Council* EUS Board of Governors* EUGE Committee* ELINE CommitteeThe main skill required to be VP Academic is to be able to relay concerns and issues that students have, and to bring them up to the Engineering Faculty for them to respond and assist students when necessary. This requires a great ability to understand students' concerns and to diplomatically interact with members of the Engineering Faculty. You should have a basic understanding of how Academics work overall in the Faculty, but you will learn most of it with time. You also have to feel comfortable often being the sole student representative to the Faculty when it comes to Academics, which often is a big and somewhat unfair ask, but you must show the necessary confidence to take it on.==Midterm Reports=={{{{PAGENAME}} Midterm Reports}}[[Category:Executives]][[Category:VPAcademicTracking{{PAGENAME}} Responsibilities]]
